Attachments_M_and_N~1.doc

This document appears to be a set of attachments, Attachments M and N, related to a Request for Response (RFR) for corrugated boxes issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The RFR seeks to establish a statewide contract for the purchase of corrugated boxes by various state agencies and political subdivisions within Massachusetts. The contract will have an initial term of one year with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. Bidders are required to provide detailed product specifications, item quantities, and pricing for a variety of box styles and sizes. Responses to the RFR are due by a specific date, and a mandatory bidder's conference has been scheduled prior to the submission deadline.

The RFR outlines specific pricing terms, including requirements for firm, fixed pricing and the ability to provide periodic price adjustments. There are no set-aside requirements, but the Commonwealth may consider proposals from small businesses and minority/women-owned enterprises. The current incumbent contractor is not identified. Funding for purchases under this contract will come from the individual agency budgets of the participating state and local government entities.
