Attachment A Bidding Schedule.xlsx

This file is a bidding schedule attachment for a state and local contract opportunity for microscopes, accessories, and related services. The contract is organized into two distinct lots. Lot A solicits discount percentages that vendors can offer on microscopes and accessories as well as parts, supplies, and consumables across thirty-five manufacturer brands and product lines, including major brands such as Carl Zeiss, Nikon, Hitachi, and Leica. Vendors are required to enter discount rates in designated columns, provide notes on volume discounts with associated purchase quantities, and specify days after receipt of order (ARO) for each item. Lot B requests pricing for service offerings, specifically maximum hourly rates for microscope service and repairs, with optional daily flat rates, covering fifteen manufacturer brands including Bruker Optics, Coherent, Eppendorf, and Oxford Instruments.

The bidding schedule requires vendors to complete pricing information for the brands and product lines they are able to supply or service. All discount rates and service rates are evaluated against maximum or baseline rates established by the contracting entity. Vendors may provide additional notes and supporting documentation to justify discounts or alternative pricing structures. The file includes fields for vendor contact information, mailing addresses, and phone numbers. An automatic calculation field is included to compute evaluated percentage rates based on submitted discount percentages. Currently, all line items show default rates of 0.0%, indicating that vendors must populate actual pricing data during the bid submission process.
