Quick Start Guide 11-1-2022.docx

This Quick Start Guide pertains to Wisconsin's Statewide Record Storage Boxes Contract (#505ENT-M23-RECORDSBOX-01), a mandatory statewide contract that also operates cooperatively, allowing Wisconsin municipalities to participate. The contract involves the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) Publishing and Distribution Center, University of Wisconsin Material Distribution Services (MDS), and contractor Dairyland Packaging of Cross Plains, Wisconsin. Orders are processed through DOA Publishing and Distribution Center, with contract management handled by Kristina Harris at DOA's State Bureau of Procurement.

The contract provides heavy-duty storage boxes for distribution to the State Records Center, UW campuses, and municipalities at a unit price of $1.84 per box. Orders are placed in truckloads of approximately 6,000 boxes with a maximum overrun allowance of 3%, requiring pre-authorization from DOA Publishing & Distribution before shipping any overrun quantities. The contract term runs from November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2024, with an initial two-year period and three optional one-year renewal periods. P-Card transactions are not permitted under this contract, and agencies requiring less than truckload quantities must contact DOA Publishing and Distribution Center directly for ordering.
