Notice of Cancellation

This is a Notice of Cancellation issued by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources regarding Solicitation No. 46200-DNR0000224 for a one-time purchase of engraved hunting knife sets. The solicitation was cancelled on February 22, 2012, following the original bid closing date of February 15, 2012. The scope of work required the awarded vendor to engrave the WILDLIFE RESTORATION logo on one side of the blade and the text "BE A SAFE HUNTER" on the other side, with logos to be provided by the Department of Natural Resources. Prospective bidders were required to register in the TEAM GEORGIA MARKETPLACE system to access the complete Request for Quote (RFQ), specifications, and attachments, and all bids were to be submitted electronically through that platform. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications.

The solicitation was cancelled because the bids received exceeded the validated budget amount, necessitating a re-bid of the knife sets. Issuing Officer Jenifer Polk managed the procurement and directed all inquiries regarding the RFQ to be submitted in writing via email to jenifer.polk@dnr.state.ga.us. Questions concerning the TEAM GEORGIA MARKETPLACE registration process or system navigation were to be directed to the Help Desk at procurementhelp@doas.ga.gov or 404-657-6000. Bidders were responsible for reviewing the solicitation regularly during the procurement period for any addenda or answers to submitted questions.
