When provisioning the eBuy connector in TechnoMile's Growth solution, TechnoMile requires a consolidated POC with login privileges for all SIN Task Orders to be brought into Growth. This requires customer eBuy admins to perform some actions in the eBuy portal. See eBuy-Contractor_jobaid.pdf (gsa.gov) for GSA's latest instructions and best practices document.
Step 1: Associate multiple contracts under a single login to eBuy
If your company has more than one contract with GSA, eBuy provides the ability to “associate” more than one contract to a single login to eBuy for all your contracts.
IMPORTANT:
-
- In order to associate a contract, you must be a POC on the contract you want to associate.
- Logging into an “associated” contract will only display RFQ opportunities for that specific contract. Only the master contract will display all of the associated contracts.
- Log in to your GSA eBuy account and select the appropriate master contract.
- Click on Profile and then Manage/Add Contracts to see a list of all contracts held by your company.
- Select all of the contracts that are pertinent for parsing into the TechnoMile Solution.
EXAMPLE: In the example screenshot, a user has “associated” three additional contracts under the contract GS-00-XXXXF. With this scenario, contract GS-00F-XXXXF is considered a “master” contract in eBuy for this user. Now, this user can login to eBuy, select contract GS-00-XXXXF, and then be able to view RFQ opportunities and submit/manage quotes under all four of the contracts.
Step 2: Add TechnoMile Address as a POC on all associated contracts
- Log in to your GSA eBuy account and select the appropriate master contract.
- Click on Profile and then Add a new POC to a Category.
- In the Add a new POC popup, add the TechnoMile eBuy e-mail provided by your Client Success Manager and assign SIN = 'All'. The Name and Phone can be set to any value.
- Click Add and TechnoMile will receive an e-mail to validate the account and set a password.
- Scroll down through the Contract # on the profile screen to confirm that this POC has been added to all SINs and Contracts.
If not, please repeat Step 3 for each Contract in the list. - Once complete, TechnoMile will begin provisioning the eBuy Parser in your Growth instance.
