The department awards bids based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not receive the award if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements exist. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for this opportunity. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter with their bids; failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification. A sample and proof are required as part of the bidding process.
