About this file

This is Addendum No. 1 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB #25260095B-VG) issued by the School Board of Seminole County, Florida, for the procurement of classroom and office supplies to be stored in the district's warehouse. The addendum, dated April 1, 2026, addresses frequently asked questions from potential bidders and clarifies key solicitation requirements. The sealed bid opening is scheduled for April 14, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST, with award recommendations expected by April 24, 2026, and final Board approval on May 12, 2026. The contract will have an initial one-year term with two optional one-year renewal periods subject to mutual agreement. All deliveries are required on a FOB inside delivery basis to the School Board's warehouse located at 1722 W. Airport Boulevard, Sanford, Florida 32771, which is equipped with dock and forklift capabilities. Bidders must submit completed price schedules with highlighted fields for Price, MFG/PN or URL, and Minimum Order Requirements, and no product samples are required at the time of bid submission.

The addendum confirms that pricing escalation is limited to a maximum of 3 percent annually and only at the School Board's sole discretion if material or goods costs increase by 3 percent or more with proper documentation. No termination clause is available to vendors, and imported copy paper is acceptable. The District reserves the right to return products that do not meet specifications upon delivery, rescind the award, and re-award to another vendor if performance issues arise. Purchases of items such as copy paper (Line Item 22) will be made on an as-needed basis rather than as one-time deliveries, with quantities varying based on the District's operational needs and storage availability. The procurement contact is Victoria Gonzalez, Procurement Agent III, at gonzalvm@scps.k12.fl.us or 407-320-0262.
