Attachment B Point of Contact.docx

This is a Point of Contact form attachment for a South Carolina statewide contract solicitation (Number 5400030177) for microscopes, accessories, parts, supplies, consumables, and associated service offerings. The form is designed for bidders to provide essential contact information required for order placement and administrative communications. Bidders must designate one or more points of contact for placing orders, including names, titles, email addresses, and telephone numbers, and must provide a separate point of contact for administrative fee reporting with corresponding contact details. The form also requires submission of a website address. This document serves as a standardized template that vendors must complete and submit with their proposals in response to the solicitation.

The form functions as a critical administrative requirement within a procurement structured in two lots: Lot A requires bidders to submit discount percentages on microscopes and accessories for thirty-five manufacturer brands, while Lot B requests maximum hourly rates for microscope service and repairs across fifteen manufacturers. Independent dealers bidding on behalf of manufacturers must submit manufacturer authorization letters executed by authorized personnel. Bidders are required to remit quarterly administrative fees to the Materials Management Office and submit quarterly usage reports. Proposals are due September 21, 2026. The completion and submission of Attachment B ensures that the contracting entity can effectively communicate with vendors regarding orders, pricing inquiries, and administrative obligations throughout the contract period.
