Multi- Purpose Shop Solvent-2011(1).xls

This is a solicitation document for a state and local contract opportunity issued by the State of Maine for a multi-purpose shop solvent and degreaser product. The Maine Division of Purchases seeks a one-year fixed-price purchase contract for a nonclorinated, aerosol-based multi-purpose shop solvent-degreaser in 24-ounce containers. The estimated annual purchase volume is between 1,200 and 1,800 cans to be delivered to the MMA-Limestone Facility located at 125 Kansas Road, Limestone, Maine 04750. The contract is eligible for extension upon approval by the State Division of Purchases, though no specific response dates, bid due dates, or award dates are referenced in the document provided.

Bid prices must include freight to the specified delivery destination and are not subject to minimum or maximum order quantities or dollar values unless otherwise stipulated in the bid response. The state has identified Castle Products Inc's King Size Shop Solv (Part# C2495) as the comparable product that meets current environmental and safety requirements; however, bidders may propose alternative products of equal or superior environmental characteristics and must submit Material Safety Data Sheets along with specific product identification. Bidders are required to provide and deliver samples at their own expense for evaluation and testing, with samples likely to be consumed during testing and not returned. Contract award is contingent upon successful screening through the federal Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) and provision of any certifications of eligibility required by the State Purchasing Division. All inquiries regarding this solicitation must be directed to the State Purchasing Division contact, not the facility itself.
