About this file

This document is Attachment G for Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. S-10700-00012203, detailing the Reverse Auction process for a solicitation for Bulk Propane Fuel, Tanks, Related Goods and Services. The procurement will utilize an online Reverse Auction Event conducted by EasiBuy, LLC, where bidders will enter live pricing to determine final contract pricing. Eligible bidders must first submit un-priced sealed bids to the State Purchasing Commission (SPC) by the closing date, after which the SPC will review submissions and determine which bidders are responsive and responsible.

The Reverse Auction Event involves several key procedural steps, including EasiBuy contacting eligible bidders, preparing them for the online auction through system configuration and training, and conducting the electronic bidding process. During the event, each offer is binding, and the lowest offered price will complete the bid response. After the auction concludes, the Agency will evaluate each participating bidder's qualifications and final price to determine the most responsible and responsive bidder. EasiBuy and the Agency commit to providing administrative support to ensure the integrity of the Reverse Auction Event, with bids submitted by authorized representatives as designated in the Bidder Information and Certification Form.
