COST PROPOSAL

Offeror must complete all required elements of this Cost Proposal. The format and structure of the Cost Proposal is intended to allow for a fair evaluation of like costs among Offerors. Deviation from the format or structure of this Cost Proposal may result in the Offeror’s proposal being deemed non-responsive.

Offeror is wholly responsible for ensuring figures and calculations submitted in Offeror’s completed Cost Proposal are accurate, even if formulas have been provided by the Lead State as a courtesy.

Inclusion of cost or pricing information in any document other than this Cost Proposal may result in Offeror’s proposal being deemed non-responsive.

Proposed Costs and Discounts

Offeror’s Cost and Category Discounts must be inclusive of all fees and charges, including but not limited to fees or charges for shipping, delivery, credit card payments, and personnel. All costs proposed by Offeror must also be inclusive of the NASPO ValuePoint administrative fee. Proposed costs incorporated into a Master Agreement resulting from this RFP represent not-to-exceed pricing and minimum discounts, where applicable. Except as permitted below, pricing offered to Participating Entities and Purchasing Entities must be no higher than pricing set forth in the Master Agreement.

A Participating Addendum may also require payment of an additional administrative fee by Contractors to a Participating Entity based on sales to Purchasing Entities within the jurisdiction of the Participating Entity. Unless otherwise negotiated by the Participating Entity, Contractor may adjust the Master Agreement pricing incorporated into the Participating Entity’s Participating Addendum by an amount not to exceed the Participating Entity’s fee. Such adjustments will have no effect on the NASPO ValuePoint administrative fee, pricing in the Master Agreement, or pricing offered to Purchasing Entities outside the jurisdiction of the Participating Entity.

In addition to the Cost Proposal evaluation described in this RFP, Cost Proposals may also be subject to an independent review for reasonableness and best value by the Lead State. Costs determined not to be reasonable or best-value by the Lead State, including any cost to which Offeror’s proposed markup or discount is to be applied, may result in all or part of Offeror’s proposal being rejected, notwithstanding the results of the Cost Proposal evaluation.
