About this file

This is a sample request memorandum from the Walker County Department of Education Facilities & Operations in Georgia for Instructional Supplies Bid #22-01, dated February 18, 2022. The bid encompasses a comprehensive list of over 50 instructional supply items required by the Walker County School System, including paper products (duplicator paper in white and colors, writing tablets, bulletin board paper), writing instruments (crayons, markers, pens, pencils), office supplies (scissors, hole punches, staplers, file folders, envelopes, index cards), art supplies (poster board, construction paper, paint, modeling clay, laminating film), and various other classroom materials. Vendors must submit product samples for all requested items no later than the bid opening day; samples received late will not be considered. Each sample must be clearly labeled with the vendor name, bid number, and Walker County School System item number. The memorandum specifies exact product specifications including brand names where required (such as Crayola crayons, Pilot G2 pens, Sharpie markers, and 3M Post-it pads) and packaging quantities. Failure to properly label samples or submit them as specified may result in disqualification from the bid.

The evaluation process will prioritize quality alongside price comparison rather than selecting solely based on lowest cost. Vendors are explicitly instructed not to include pricing for alternative brands when a particular brand is requested. If a vendor wins the bid but fails to supply the exact samples submitted or provides different items than those sampled, the vendor is responsible for correcting the order at no cost to the Walker County Board of Education. The memorandum emphasizes that sample submission is critical to quality assessment, as the absence of samples may result in bid rejection even if the vendor submits the lowest price. No specific contract term, renewal options, funding amounts, or award dates are identified in this memorandum.

DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2022

TO: ALL VENDORS

FROM: KELIA KIMBELL, FACILITIES & OPERATIONS – WAREHOUSE

RE: INSTRUCTIONAL SAMPLES – BID #22-01

Please submit a sample of the products listed below no later than bid opening day. Samples that are delivered late will not be considered. We would appreciate your immediate cooperation in this matter, as this will expedite the entire bidding and selection process. Please indicate, on EACH sample submitted, VENDOR NAME, BID NUMBER, and WALKER COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM ITEM NUMBER of the product. If another vendor submits samples on your behalf, PLEASE have them include your company name on each sample so that we know they are for your bid packet. If they are not labeled, we have no way of knowing who they were sent to represent. FAILURE TO LABLE

PRODUCT CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE BID.

The purpose of requesting samples is so that we can compare the quality of the products included in each bid submittal. If samples are not provided, it is difficult to determine the quality of the items, which may result in your company not being awarded the bid even if you are the low bidder. Please provide samples for our evaluation as requested. NOTE: IF A PARTICULAR BRAND IS REQUESTED, DO NOT INCLUDE A PRICE FOR ALTERNATIVE BRANDS. IF YOU WIN THE BID AND DO

NOT SUPPLY THE SAMPLES OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE SAME ITEMS SENT AS A

SAMPLE, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE ORDER RIGHT AT NO COST

TO WALKER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCAITON.
