About this file
This document is a set of questions and answers related to a state contract solicitation by the State of Illinois Central Management Services for JPMC Herman Miller Furniture. The solicitation seeks a single percentage discount off the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for various Herman Miller furniture products, rather than multiple discounts for different product categories. The contract does not allow for substitution of the Herman Miller brand. The contract is issued under the OMNIA Partners purchasing cooperative, which has a pre-existing contract with Herman Miller that can be referenced for background information.
The pricing terms for this contract call for a blended percentage discount off MSRP to be provided by bidders. There are no set-asides or incumbents mentioned. The contract term and any renewal options are not specified in the document.

Questions and Answers
1. This is difficult to describe, but there is not 1 discount that can be applied to all products that Herman Miller would provide with this contract. If you look back historically, there were different categories so that the State could get the best price for each. OMNIA Partners, which is the largest GPO in the US has a bid contract with Herman Miller and you can look online to see the complexity. https://public.omniaparnters.com/fileadmin/public-sector/suppliers/E- J/Herman_Miller/Contract_Documents/Contract_2020000622/Herman_Miller_Response.pdf Go to page 58. I would like to submit a similar response, but not as many categories since you are not asking for them.
RESPONSE: The solicitation asks for a single percentage discount based upon the value of the orders. Bidders may use a blended percentage discount off the MSRP.
2. May we substitute the brand Knoll for this bid?
RESPONSE: No, this solicitation specifically states Herman Miller Furniture.
