About this file
This document is an Addendum issued by Marion County Public Schools (MCPS) Purchasing Department for Bid No. 4127AM, a term contract for New and Used Books, Educational Materials, and Other Related Materials. The addendum, dated July 1, 2025, modifies Section U of the Terms and Conditions regarding Manufacturer's Authorization. Specifically, the original requirement mandating a letter from each manufacturer for bidded items has been revised to make such letters optional, with bidders encouraged to provide as many manufacturer/publisher authorization letters as possible. Vendors must still demonstrate authorization to market, sell, distribute, warrant, or supply products through the named vendor in the bidding documents.
The addendum maintains the core procurement objectives of establishing firm, fixed percentage education discounts for various educational materials, including textbooks, workbooks, audio books, e-books, library books, and related items. Bidders are instructed to complete the Acknowledgement of Addenda form on page 8 of the Required Forms document and include it with their bid submission. The modification appears designed to reduce administrative burden on potential vendors while maintaining the essential requirement of demonstrating appropriate product authorization. The procurement continues to exclude specific categories such as technology items, furniture, security systems, curriculum manipulatives, and online services requiring data sharing agreements.
