Quoters are cautioned to calculate their discount or markup percentage carefully. Separate shipping charges are not allowed under this contract and should be taken into consideration when offering your percentage discount or markup.

NOTE: The part number listed under Section A. of each manufacturer/brand referenced is for evaluation purposes only and is not the sole item to be ordered.

It is imperative that the quoter contact the responsible Buyer if manufacturer/brand names are obsolete, spelled incorrectly, etc., and/or if the evaluation item part/model numbers are incorrect or obsolete. The failure of names and/or part numbers to match exactly with the backup information submitted with your quote response shall render your quote “non-responsive.”

It is also imperative that the quoter contact the responsible Buyer if published catalog(s), price list(s), etc.

do not exist for these manufacturers/brands.
