About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for RFP 230000001980 regarding Plumbing and Pipefitting MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) supplies. The questions were due by August 16, 2023, at 3 pm Eastern Time. The State addressed inquiries concerning Schedule B, which is the core pricing list for the contract. The Schedule B pricing list was compiled from historical purchasing data spanning five years, identifying the most frequently purchased plumbing items and those with the highest dollar values purchased either on or off the current contract. Items determined to fall outside the plumbing scope were removed, and Addendum 1 was published to reflect these changes. Bidders were instructed to use the most current version of the RFP, identified as RFP 230000001980-Plumbing Supplies and Pipefitting Supplies-8-17-23-AD 3, which included revisions with changes highlighted in red lettering and repositioned Federal Provisions language following the Contract Terms section.
In response to a request for an unprotected spreadsheet to facilitate cross-referencing of plumbing items with potential supplier item numbers such as Grainger products, the State provided an unlocked working copy via Addendum 1 to assist bidders' internal processes. However, the official bid submission was required to be returned in the locked version of the spreadsheet provided by the State. No specific pricing terms, contract award dates, contract duration, or renewal options were detailed in this Questions and Answers document.

RFP 230000001980- Plumbing and Pipefitting MRO Questions Due by: August 16th, 2023 @ 3 pm Eastern
Question # Document and Section Page # Bidder Question State's Answer
1 RFP Schedule B- Core List n/a
Can you please advise how the (Schedule B Pricing ) list was compiled and how to proceed with lines that are out of category?
Should we no quote and add an explanation?
Also, in the “Contract Terms” section of the main RFP Document, it appears there are several sections highlighted in green that should possibly be removed. Please review and let me know if that section needs to be updated.
1). The Schedule B list was generated via a compilation of the most purchased plumbing items and the highest dollar value items that were purchased during the past 5 years, either on or off the current contract.
2). Those items determined to be outside the plumbing scope of the contract have been removed and Addendum 1 was publised to reflecting the changes.
Please ensure you are using the most updated version when you are compiling your bid. 3). Please see the revised RFP 230000001980- Plumbing Supplies and Pipefitting Supplies- 8-17-23- AD 3 for the most up-to-date version. This has been revised.
Changes to language have been highlighted in red lettering. Please be advised that the Federal Provisions Addendum now follows the Contract Terms.
2 RFP Schedule B- Core List n/a
I am in the process of reviewing the plumbing RFP. To start the process we would need to cross the items to potential Grainger item numbers. Would it be possible to unprotect columns B, C, and D so I can copy and paste into an internal sheet for our cross referencing team?
The State has provided an unlocked version of the spreadsheet (working copy) via Addendum 1, however the bid must be returned in the official locked version.
