Quantities listed are for bidding purposes only, with no minimum or maximum quantities guaranteed. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bids must include Federal ID number, eMMA number, and applicable certifications (MBE, VSBE, SBR status). Vendors must acknowledge receipt of all addenda by signing and incorporating them with their proposals; failure to do so may result in rejection as non-responsive.
