Terms: Financial obligations of the State, payable after the current fiscal year, are contingent upon funds for that purpose being appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made available.

Sales Tax Exemption: All quotes shall be exclusive of any Federal or State taxes from which the College is exempt. ACC sales tax exemption number is 98-15145. Tax exemption certificates will be issued upon request.

Evaluation and Award: will be to the lowest most responsive and responsible bidder based on pricing and compliance with the specifications and the sole judgment of ACC as to the ability of the bidder to provide quality goods and service, to be in the best interest of the state, and to comply with the purchase order terms and conditions. Award may be to more than one vendor at the sole discretion of the college

Purchase Order: Due to the nature of this procurement, order(s) shall be placed through the issuance of a Purchase Order. No formal contracts will be utilized and no alternate Terms and Conditions accepted.

Time and date validation will occur in the Purchasing Office. All quotes received after the deadline will NOT be accepted. Do not submit an alternate or optional quote unless requested. If a vendor submits more than one (1) quote, the entire quote will be non-responsive, therefore disqualified. Do not re-type this request for quotation. In the case of equal CORE/VSS, ACC will make the final determination. Colorado-based business(es) will prevail as allowed by law. Bid unit prices and extended amounts when called for.

Specific requirements may be obtained through the Purchasing Department. The certificate shall list Arapahoe Community College as both Certificate Holder and Additional Insured.

Limited Competition: Because of the limited competition expected from registered CORE/VSS vendors on this solicitation, the procuring agency intends to use both CORE and additional methods of vendor notification and may make the specifications available to non-registered vendors through additional means. However, quotes, CORE/VSS or offers submitted by non-registered vendors will not be opened or considered (except as necessary to determine CORE/VSS registration status) unless, after examination of quotes/CORE/VSS/offers submitted by CORE/VSS registered vendors, it is determined that there is not adequate competition among CORE/VSS registered vendors.
