NOS-PSoft Upgrade message

This is a Notice of Official Solicitation Status issued by the Georgia Department of Education regarding a fulfillment and storage contract opportunity. The solicitation seeks a mailing service and storage facility vendor to store approximately 400 pallets of educational materials and fulfill orders to schools and other facilities throughout Georgia. Services include receiving and storing educational materials (such as books for media centers, items for school nurses, school nutrition materials, and conference exhibit items), maintaining an up-to-date inventory with thumbnail pictures of stored items, packing requested materials, and shipping to individual schools and other designated locations. The original bid submission deadline was extended to September 12, 2018, at 4:00 p.m., with a Notice of Intent to Award issued on September 27, 2018. The Issuing Officer is Amanda Gibson at amgibson@doe.k12.ga.us.

This notice indicates that the solicitation's system status was marked as "Awarded" within the Team Georgia Marketplace platform solely for purposes of a state systems upgrade to version 9.2, but the actual current status of the solicitation remains as a Notice of Intent to Award. The Georgia Department of Education lacks adequate storage space and staffing to manage the volume of educational materials requiring storage and distribution. Bidders were required to access event details and attachments through their Team Georgia Marketplace accounts, with technical support available through the Procurement Helpdesk at 404-657-6000 or ProcurementHelp@doas.ga.gov. Supplier questions and answers were posted on September 7, 2018.
