Amendment 1 Microscopes Bid Spreadsheet.xlsx

This is an Amendment 1 Microscopes Bid Spreadsheet for a South Carolina state and local contract opportunity designated STC MICROSCOPES. The spreadsheet is divided into two primary lots: Lot A covers microscopes and accessories along with parts, supplies, and consumables, while Lot B addresses service offerings. Lot A requires vendors to provide discount percentage rates for microscopes and accessories in Column C and for parts, supplies, and consumables in Column D, with the spreadsheet automatically calculating an evaluated percentage rate. Vendors may also list volume discounts with applicable purchase quantities and Days After Receipt (ARO) for delivery. The bid spreadsheet includes 51 line items representing various microscope brands and manufacturers, including AccuScope, Carl Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, and numerous other established optical equipment suppliers. Some line items specify particular product models, such as Carl Zeiss's Primo Star, AxioLab A1, and AxioScope A1 series, and Unico's M16, M220, and G-series models.

Lot B of the spreadsheet requires vendors to enter maximum hourly rates for service in Column C and optionally provide daily flat rates in Column D, with vendors able to submit notes regarding rates lower than the maximum hourly rates specified. The spreadsheet contains fields for vendor contact information including name of service, contact person, mailing address, and phone number. All line items in both lots are currently listed at 0.0% discount rates or are blank fields, indicating this is a template awaiting vendor submissions. The evaluation methodology employs an automatic calculation system for Lot A pricing, while Lot B pricing will be evaluated based on hourly and optional daily rates submitted by bidding vendors.
