About this file

This is a Bid Evaluation Document (SPD-EP002) for the Georgia Department of Public Safety's Thermal Paper Agency Contract solicitation (46600-DPS0000287), issued by officer Gay Johnson. The solicitation requests thermal paper in white, perforated rolls measuring 8.5 inches by 11 inches, with 100 sheets per roll and 6 rolls per case. The specification calls for Brothers LB3663 or an approved equal product with seven-year archive capability and sensing marks at 11-inch intervals for realignment. The contract is intended to commence on November 1, 2022, following the expiration of the current agency contract on October 31, 2022. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal periods. Two suppliers submitted responsive bids by the February 1, 2021 deadline: PSXI LLC and Positive Concepts. Following administrative and technical review, PSXI LLC (DBA Paper Systems Inc) passed all evaluation phases, while Positive Concepts failed the second phase of evaluation due to not being registered with the Georgia Secretary of State's Office.

The cost evaluation identified PSXI LLC as the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder at an estimated annual cost of $24,582.00 for the open agency contract. Historical spending data indicates that the Department of Public Safety spent $88,132.43 over the preceding five years for 2,919 cases of thermal paper. All quoted prices must include delivery, shipping, fuel surcharges, and insurance fees with no additional charges permitted. Suppliers are required to be registered with the Georgia Department of Revenue and current with tax payments, as well as registered with the Georgia Secretary of State's Office. No bid bonds or liability insurance are required for this goods-only contract with destination delivery. Prior to award notification, PSXI LLC was verified as not suspended or debarred on state and federal lists and confirmed to meet all pre-award requirements including sales and use tax compliance and anti-boycott of Israel certification.
