About this file
This document is Addendum #1 issued by the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) Second Supervisory District of Suffolk County in New York on February 28, 2024, regarding a solicitation for Zip Custom Carry Cases. The bid seeks to contract with a qualified vendor to provide custom carry cases compatible with 11", 13", and 14" Acer products, specifically referencing the Volume Cases sku #ZIP-CS "always on case". The addendum addresses vendor questions about product specifications, customization options, and alternative materials, emphasizing that any proposed substitutions must be clearly identified on the bid form and meet or exceed the original specifications.
The addendum clarifies that vendors bear the burden of proving equivalence for any proposed alternative cases, and BOCES reserves the right to accept or reject proposed equivalents. The document provides guidance that vendors must submit adequate supporting information for any proposed substitutions, with the understanding that if no alternatives are specified, the bid will be considered as matching the original specifications. The procurement is structured to allow flexibility for vendors while maintaining strict quality standards for the required carry cases, which will serve Western Suffolk BOCES and potentially its component and cross-contracting districts.
