Addendum 02

This is Addendum 02 to an electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) issued by the Georgia Department of Public Health for Serological Immunoassay Lease and Services. The addendum revises the bid event timeline due to a two-day state office closure caused by inclement weather. The Pre-Bidders/Offeror's Conference was rescheduled to Thursday, February 6, 2014, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EST, accessible via toll-free dial-in number 1-888-363-4734 with participant access code 6744425. The deadline for submitting written questions was moved to Friday, February 7, 2014, with the Georgia Department of Public Health's response to written questions scheduled for Tuesday, February 11, 2014. The final bid event closing date was changed to Thursday, February 13, 2014. The addendum emphasizes that in case of any conflict between previously released information and the revised information contained within, the latter shall control.

The addendum requires suppliers to provide a signed acknowledgment of receipt with their RFQ response. The issuing officer is Margie Preston from the Georgia Purchasing Cooperative Authority, and inquiries should be directed to mapreston@dhr.state.ga.us or 404.232.1141. It is important to note that the related state and local contract opportunity was subsequently canceled without award on February 24, 2014, at the Department's discretion, with the Department reserving the right to reissue a replacement bid event.
