About this file
This is an Addendum to Bidder Questions for Michigan State Police (MSP) RFP #230000001461 concerning the procurement of 105-liter ethanol dry gas .080 canisters. The document addresses three key bidder inquiries regarding ordering patterns and delivery expectations. MSP historically ordered gas cylinders in quantities of 100 units, 2-3 times per year as needed, though the agency was unable to provide specific anticipated dates for initial orders, projected schedules for future orders, or maximum quantities expected to ship within the standard 21-day delivery period.
MSP's inability to forecast demand stems from the recent deployment of new PBT (Preliminary Breath Test) calibration training and evidential instruments across the state, which has created uncertainty regarding future usage rates compared to historical consumption patterns. Future gas cylinder orders will continue to be placed on an as-needed basis without a predetermined schedule, requiring the successful bidder to maintain flexibility in fulfilling orders of varying quantities throughout the contract term.

Bidder Questions and Answers
ADDENDUM #1
Question #1:
Can MSP provide the anticipated date of first order and quantity of gas cylinders to be ordered?
Answer #1:
No. Gas cylinders were historically ordered 100 at a time, 2-3 times per year. With the deployment of new PBT calibration training and evidential instruments across the state we are unable to predict what the usage rate will be as compared to previous usage rates.
Question #2:
For the life of the contract, can MSP provide the projected schedule of future orders along with quantities to be ordered?
Answer #2:
No. Gas cylinders were historically ordered 100 at a time, 2-3 times per year as needed. Future gas orders will be made as needed, absent a set schedule. With the deployment of new PBT calibration training and evidential instruments across the state we are unable to predict what the usage rate will be as compared to previous usage rates.
Question #3:
Can MSP provide the maximum quantity of cylinders that would be expected to ship within the 21-day delivery period?
Answer #3:
No. Gas cylinders were historically ordered 100 at a time, 2-3 times per year as needed. With the deployment of new PBT calibration training and evidential instruments across the state we are unable to predict what the usage rate will be as compared to previous usage rates.
