About this file
This is a pre-quote conference presentation from the State of New Jersey for Testing Services for Long Term Care and Assisted Living (Bid #24DPP00920). The conference, recorded via Microsoft Teams, provides procedural guidance for vendors interested in submitting quotes. Questions are due by 2 PM on January 9, 2025, and quotes must be submitted by 2 PM on February 6, 2025. The presentation outlines the bid solicitation structure, including sections covering introduction, pre-quote submission information, quote submission requirements, scope of work, general contract terms, data security requirements, and modifications to standard terms and conditions.
The presentation emphasizes critical requirements for the State-Supplied Price Sheet, warning vendors that quotes may be deemed non-responsive if price sheets are improperly completed. Vendors must complete all price lines, indicate "$0" for no-charge items, maintain original formatting, and avoid adding language or additional fees. The presentation also notes that vendors should be registered in NJSTART and maintain current contact information. While specific set-aside requirements are mentioned as being included in the cover page, the exact requirements are not detailed in the presentation content.

PRICE SHEET PITFALLS
Complete all required price lines on the State-Supplied Price Sheet pursuant to the Bid Solicitation instructions, or Quote may be deemed non-responsive. Indicate “no charge” if the cost is $0. Do not leave any price lines blank.
Do not make formatting changes to the State-Supplied Price Sheet. If the price line requires a dollar amount, don’t change it to a percentage, or vice versa. If the price line includes 2 decimal places, don’t change the settings to allow 4 decimals.
Confirm that you have completed all tabs on the State-Supplied Price Sheet.
Do not add additional language, assumptions, or fees on the State-Supplied Price Sheet. Do not add or remove any price lines.
Confirm you have completed the proper version of the State-Supplied Price Sheet; it may have been revised via Bid Amendment.
Submitting a State-Supplied Price Sheet in a format other than the supplied Excel document can lead to a price sheet being deemed non-responsive when the information in a cell cannot be confirmed by the Bureau.
HELPFUL TIPS & REMINDERS
Review Bid Solicitation in its entirety and submit any questions prior to the deadline including exceptions to the SSTC. Updated documents will be posted in NJSTART and should be reviewed as posted.
Complete all required price lines in the State Supplied Price Sheet or Quote may be deemed non-responsive. Indicate “$0” if the cost is $0. Do not leave any price lines blank. The State is aware a “$0” input will auto populate a dash (-) on the State-Supplied Price Sheet, and the State will deem this answer responsive when it can confirm the information in the submitted price sheet.
Submit Quotes on time addressing all mandatory requirements (designated by “shall”) including forms. Quotes missing mandatory requirements may be deemed non-responsive. Not submitting requested information (“should”) may impact the technical evaluation score.
The State-Supplied Price Sheet must be completed in its entirety with no lines added or removed, or additional language or fees referenced.
OTHER HELPFUL TIPS
Examples of additional language the may deem a quote non-responsive:
Vendor accepts all terms and conditions of this Bid Solicitation with the following additional language: Section X - Agree, as it applies to changes that impact administrative fees as outlined in this provision, provided that Vendor reserves the right to modify Contracted Terms based on changes by the State.
Vendor’s Quote is only valid for XX days.
Vendor reserves the right to charge additional fees for services that require extensive time and effort.
