Amendment 1 Microscopes Bid Spreadsheet.xlsx

This is an Amendment 1 Bid Spreadsheet for a microscopes procurement opportunity issued by the State of South Carolina under the STC Microscopes contract. The document establishes two distinct lots for bidding: Lot A covers microscopes and accessories along with parts, supplies, and consumables from 34 listed vendors including Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, Bruker Optics, Eppendorf, and others; Lot B covers service offerings for select microscope brands including Bruker Optics, Hitachi, and Oxford Instruments. Vendors responding to Lot A must provide discount percentage rates for both microscopes/accessories and parts/supplies/consumables, volume discounts where applicable, and days after receipt of order (ARO) for each item, with provisions for vendors to note additional offerings above minimum discounted rates. Lot B requires vendors to submit maximum hourly service rates and optional daily flat rates for service, with space for vendors to document rates lower than the stated maximums.

The spreadsheet format indicates that Lot A evaluates pricing through an automatic calculation field based on submitted discount percentages, while Lot B establishes maximum hourly rates as pricing parameters. Vendors are instructed to enter their legal business information including name, contact details, mailing address, and phone number. The amendment structure suggests this is a revision to an original microscopes procurement, expanding or modifying the vendor list and bidding requirements. No specific funding amounts, award dates, contract term duration, or renewal options are detailed in this amendment document.
