The solicitation requires that all bidders be registered vendors with a vendor number in the Commonwealth's Vendor Master file and must monitor the DGS e-marketplace for any additional change notices that become incorporated into bid requirements. Bidders may propose approved equal products or submit alternates with written notification provided at least five days prior to bid opening, except where specifications designate "no substitute." All bids must remain firm for sixty days following bid opening, and bidders must certify independent pricing development without collusion, non-suspension or debarment status, and absence of outstanding delinquent obligations to the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive technical defects, and award by item or on a total bid basis as deemed most advantageous.
