All offerors must submit pricing for every line item in the Schedule of Items (150 items across multiple product categories), and failure to propose on all required items will render a proposal technically unacceptable.

The contract will run for five years from March 5, 2026 to March 4, 2031, consisting of a 12-month base period followed by four 12-month option periods.
