*Unless SPD grants a written exception, all state entities are required to conduct competitive sealed bidding through approved sourcing tools such as Team Georgia Marketplace™ and eSource/Jaggaer. These systems will not allow a supplier to submit a bid/proposal once the solicitation closing date/time has passed.

**By submitting a response via Team Georgia Marketplace™ or eSource/Jaggaer, suppliers automatically agree to the certificate of non-collusion and must also certify that they are not a scrutinized company. If conducting through another sourcing tool with SPD approval, the issuing officer may use form SPD-SP012 Certificate of Non-Collusion to obtain the certification and SPD-SP042 Supplier General Information Worksheet.

Cost Evaluation:

During the cost evaluation, the issuing officer will evaluate the cost proposals to identify the lowest priced supplier(s) using the identified cost evaluation methodology. Factors that may impact the cost evaluation are noted below:

• Price Match Option: If selected by the issuing officer and included as part of the RFQ, then the price match option should be offered to any supplier that meets the following requirement: is (1) a Georgia-based, small business or Georgia Resident small business, (2) that agreed to price match and (3) submitted a response within 5% up to $10,000 of the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Only applicable if a non-

Georgia based/non-small business is the lowest priced bidder.

• Georgia Enterprises for Products and Services (GEPS): for purposes of cost evaluation only, any bid submitted by GEPS will receive a price preference of 8%. Please see GPM Section 5.6.6.6. for additional information.
