12-Market Basket Template.xlsx

This is a market basket template for a graduation supplies and photography services contract opportunity in Arizona. The District seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive graduation-related products and services to its high schools and any additional schools built over the next five years. The market basket includes thirty items spanning graduation supplies such as athletic certificates, diplomas, diploma covers, chenille letters, cords, formal stationery, honor tassels, stoles, pins, graduation programs, faculty gowns, balloon arches, flower arrangements, and cap and gown packages. Additionally, nine photography service categories are specified, including senior portraits, student photos for grades 9-11, graduation photos, formal prom and homecoming dance photos, team and individual sports photos, ID card photos, class photos, staff photos, and governing board photos. Lists of graduates and exact quantities will be furnished directly by each school, and the contract term spans five years to accommodate new schools within the District.

The market basket template requires vendors to provide unit pricing for all thirty-one specified items and to indicate a percentage discount on catalog, website, or retail published prices for items not specifically listed. Vendors must also specify delivery charges for items ordered via published price discounts, with delivery costs to be included in unit pricing for all other items. The template allows vendors to propose alternates that meet or exceed the specifications of listed items, which should be added in a designated section below the market basket. A response of 0% discount is acceptable; however, leaving pricing information blank constitutes a no bid.
