There seems to be a lot of part numbers that are obsolete but may have an updated version, can the new part number be submitted for that bid?

Yes, you can submit an alternate bid if it is in DIBBS with the part number.

An alternate bid is used when a Vendor wishes to supply an item other than the approved part (whether obsolete or not).

Note that offers of alternate products will not be evaluated for the current procurement, only for future procurements.
