About this file
This document is a Bidder Information Questionnaire for Invitation for Bid (IFB) #23335, a statewide contract for recycled copy paper in New York State. The document is an attachment to a procurement solicitation, specifically designed for potential vendors to provide comprehensive details about their business, capabilities, and qualifications for supplying copy paper across four geographical zones within New York State.
The solicitation covers multiple line items for paper supply across four distinct zones, with vendors able to bid on one or multiple zones. The contract includes provisions for volume discounts ranging from $500 to over $5,000, and requires bidders to demonstrate their ability to maintain adequate inventory, process large order volumes, and deliver paper to authorized users. Bidders must also provide details about their business structure, including employment numbers, manufacturing locations, contact information, and compliance with New York State vendor registration requirements. The questionnaire seeks to evaluate vendors' operational capabilities, business credentials, and readiness to serve state and local government agencies through this statewide paper procurement contract.
