55” LED-backlight LCD - Model: #UN552S – NEC MultiSync

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) 23-203-IFB for the procurement of two hundred (200) NEC MultiSync 55" LED-backlight LCD monitors, specifically Model #UN552S, with strict requirements that no alternative models will be considered. The solicitation was released on January 9, 2024, with electronic responses being accepted until 11:00 AM local time on January 23, 2024, through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. All respondents must be licensed to do business in Florida and submit their questions through the OpenGov platform by January 16, 2024, at 5:00 PM. A virtual solicitation opening meeting will be conducted via Microsoft Teams. The procurement requires that all monitors be new, unused, and of the current year and model, fully supported by the manufacturer's warranty. Award will be made to the responsible and responsive respondent submitting the lowest total response, resulting in a standard purchase order. Pricing must remain valid through April 30, 2024, and must include all shipping costs to the Aviation Authority's location in zip code 32827.

While there are no specific Minority Women Business Enterprise/Local Developing Business/Veteran Business Enterprise (MWBE/LDB/VBE) goals for this procurement, the Aviation Authority encourages participation from such businesses. The solicitation is covered under GOAA's standard Terms and Conditions of Purchase, which include provisions for payment within 30 days of invoice receipt, inspection and acceptance procedures, and compliance with Florida's Public Entity Crimes Act. The procurement allows for potential use by other Florida governmental agencies under the same pricing and terms. The Aviation Authority is exempt from federal excise taxes and sales taxes. Though no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves purchasing 200 monitors, which suggests a potentially significant contract value. The terms and conditions also include comprehensive legal protections, intellectual property safeguards, and ethical guidelines, including a whistleblower reporting mechanism, to ensure transparent and compliant procurement processes.
