Seminole County Public Schools is seeking to establish multiple awards for an Invitation to Bid (ITB 24250090B-VG) for art paper supplies for its school district, which is the 12th largest in Florida with over 67,000 students. The procurement will cover a comprehensive range of art paper products including charcoal paper, construction paper, drawing paper, newsprint, sketch pads, finger paint paper, metallic foil papers, origami papers, railroad board, tag board, kraft paper, scratchboard, art tissue, and watercolor paper. Preferred manufacturers include Sax, Blick, Mosinee, Tru-Ray, Riverside, Sunworks, and Pacon, with specific product requirements for weight, size, and quality. The bid is scheduled to be opened on May 7, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. EST via WebEx, with a voluntary pre-bid meeting held on April 21, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness and responsibility, with the district reserving the right to award on an "all or none" basis, by lot, partial lot, or by individual item to the lowest responsive bidder meeting all specifications. The contract term will be effective upon Board approval or June 21, 2025, for one year with potential for a one-year renewal. The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the School Board demonstrates support for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient products. The district anticipates ordering art paper in larger quarterly quantities, typically maintaining a minimum order of 2 pallets of material, with potential for multiple orders per quarter. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the estimated quantities for individual items range from 5 to 1,800 packages or rolls. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the Vendorlink portal and include required attachments such as Drug-Free Workplace Certification, Debarment Certification, and Conflict of Interest Disclosure. The School Board reserves the right to cancel the contract by providing 30 days' notice before the end of any fiscal year, and all pricing must be quoted FOB inside delivery to the Seminole County School Board Warehouse in Sanford, Florida. Invoices for the contract should be submitted electronically to ap_epay@scps.k12.fl.us.
