About this file

This is an Award Information document from Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia detailing the results of a science equipment procurement solicitation. The procurement included multiple laboratory and educational science items such as air tracks, aprons, drying racks, chemical splash goggles, hot plates, lasers, microscopes, stream table kits, weather stations, and agricultural and biology starter lab stations with wireless sensors. Eight suppliers submitted proposals by March 29, 2022, with award recommendations made on April 26, 2022. The document indicates that Betsy McCurry was the designated contact for order lists throughout the procurement process.

Award determinations were made based on specifications compliance rather than lowest bid alone. Several items were awarded to vendors other than the lowest bidder due to specification deficiencies, including awards to Fisher Scientific, Flinn Scientific, School Specialty, Sargent Welch, Pacific Star, and Parco Scientific. Notable exceptions included one instance where the first low vendor withdrew after bidding incorrectly and two items that received no bids. The supplier notification breakdown indicates outreach efforts, with 369 non-minority suppliers notified alongside notifications to 33 African American, 17 Asian American, 4 Hispanic/Latino, 1 Pacific Islander, and 1 Native American supplier contacts. Eight total suppliers submitted proposals: Capital Microscope Services, Fisher Scientific Company LLC, Flinn Scientific Inc., PASCO Scientific, Pacific Star Corporation, School Specialty LLC, Parco Scientific Company, and VWR International LLC-Sargent Welch.
