Questions/Answers relating to this soliciation:

1. Delivery - the contract says 14 days unless otherwise stipulated for delivery. Many vendors import direct from the manufacturer overseas and that offers you much better pricing. Delivery in these instances takes longer by air (usually 15-28 days) and up to 55 days by sea (for even better pricing). For your larger quantities, this will save you a considerable amount of money. Also, often times for larger quantities, the US vendors do not have enough stock and they also have to import, Are you willing to extend required delivery times to get better pricing? Or, If these items are for specific events on specified dates, can the purchase orders be given out sooner allowing for a longer delivery time? YES, NO

2. Pencil choices - There are 4 different mood pencil options you have asked for. Are you going to be ordering all options or just the best one? If you need all...Would you consider using the same mood pencil and increasing your quantities on one style instead of getting different ones? It would be less expensive that way. Higher quantities yield lower prices (per item) ALL OPTIONS REQUIRED

3. What is the earliest date you will be ordering any of the items? 1/22/24

4. Please advise if this is a one time purchase and the entire quantity will be ordered all at once? YES

5. We need logos/artwork to be imprinted. Provided at time of award

6. Is there any exception on the delivery timeline as 14 days are less for the huge quantity. YES, BUT ASAP

7. Is there any possibility to skip "Texas Secretary of State Filing Number", Texas Franchise Tax Number, Texas Secretary of State Filing Number and Texas Identification Number (TIN)? NO
