This document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) from the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services Office of State Procurement Services (OSPS) for janitorial paper products, including toilet tissue, paper towels, facial tissue, and napkins. OSPS is seeking to establish a statewide master agreement with an initial contract term from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, with four optional one-year extensions. The estimated annual spend for these products is approximately $300,000. Quotations are due by November 22, 2024, and questions from bidders must be submitted by November 18, 2024. The State reserves the right to make a single award or multiple awards based on best value, with delivery times as a potential factor.

Pricing must be provided on a "Free on Board (FOB) - Destination" basis, with the State exempt from taxes. The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the documents do not provide information about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The State is willing to extend the awarded contract pricing to municipalities, political subdivisions, and school districts in Maine at the bidder's discretion.
