Bid_4089AH_Notice_of_Change.pdf

This document is a Notice of Change issued by the Purchasing Department of Marion County Public Schools (MCPS) in Ocala, Florida, for Bid/RFP #4089AH titled "Physical Education Supplies and Equipment Discount Catalog, Term Contract". The notice specifically addresses a change in the Board Approval Date, shifting from the originally scheduled October 22, 2024, to a new date of November 12, 2024. The bid aims to establish a term contract for physical education supplies and equipment to be purchased on an "as needed" basis by various schools and departments within the district.

The contract is structured to provide firm, fixed percentage educational discounts, with a preference for vendors who can offer a URL link with login access for district employees to view discounted pricing. The procurement process involves schools and departments building online carts with discounted prices, which are then converted to requisitions, approved by finance, and processed by purchasing. The School Board reserves the right to separately bid items if deemed in the district's best interest, and requires all percentage discounts to remain firm throughout the contract term and potential renewals. Vendors are expected to provide a comprehensive web portal or pricing mechanism that allows for transparent and accessible discount verification.
