Addendum #1.pdf

This document is Addendum #1 for a Science Supplies bid issued by Eastern Suffolk BOCES (ESBOCES), a Board of Cooperative Educational Services for the First Supervisory District of Suffolk County, New York. The bid (Bid #2025-055-0917) is scheduled to open on September 17, 2024, and this addendum provides clarification on two vendor questions. The first question addressed manufacturer SKU numbers, with ESBOCES indicating they have supplied item numbers as a standard requirement on the Cost Proposal Form. The second question related to the bid's smaller size compared to previous years, which ESBOCES explained is due to the Program participants' reduced usage over the last 3 years and the addition of new items based on New York State P-12 Science Learning Standards.

The addendum maintains all other original bid specifications and requires vendors to sign and return the attached document with their bid submission. The document includes a form for vendors to complete, requesting firm name, address, contact information, and an authorized signature. This addendum serves to provide transparency and additional context for potential bidders in the Science Supplies procurement process, ensuring all parties have current and accurate information about the bid's scope and requirements.
