The document reflects responses from 31 vendors with delivery timeframes ranging from 1-3 weeks to next-day service, though eleven vendors submitted no response and were marked for removal from consideration. Bidders were required to submit responses by the specified deadline using CPA's official form, with submissions accepted via email or USPS mail to the Cleveland, Georgia address.

Pricing for awarded items varied significantly by vendor and product category, ranging from $0.88 to $26.81 per unit depending on the specific item and supplier. Notable awarded vendors include Henry Schein Medical (with prices from $1.71 to $22.50 and 2-3 day delivery), Sidra Medical Supply (offering free shipping over $500 purchase orders with prices from $1.92 to $24.00), and Southeastern Paper Group (with delivery in 5-7 business days and prices as low as $0.88). Several vendors imposed minimum order requirements (such as Pollock Investments requiring $250 minimums and Winventions requiring $1,500 or eight shipments), while others included conditions such as sample requirements, freight charges borne by customers, or price subject-to-change provisions. All prices were quoted F.O.B. destination with delivery charges included unless otherwise specified, and several vendors noted over-stocking situations or contingencies based on related custodial procurement decisions.
