B. O. S. S. II Orifice Security Scanners - request for quote

The Colorado Department of Corrections issued a Documented Quote solicitation (CAAA 2016001577) for the procurement of B.O.S.S. II (5-zone) Orifice Security Scanners across three correctional facilities: Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Crowley, Fremont Correctional Facility in Canon City, and Denver Reception & Diagnostic Center in Denver. The procurement requires one scanner unit at each of the three designated locations, with no substitutes permitted due to departmental standardization requirements. Bidders must submit quotes on the provided Excel spreadsheet item list along with a completed bid cover sheet by June 7, 2016, at 2:00 PM MST, with submission via fax to 719-269-4064 or email to stephanie.diggs@state.co.us. All goods must be received no later than June 30, 2016. Evaluation criteria include cost, projected delivery dates, quality and safety considerations, life-cycle costs, bidder qualifications and experience, and proposed operator training. Bid prices must be submitted on an FOB-Destination basis with freight costs included, and payment terms are assumed to be Net-45 days after receipt of goods and invoice unless otherwise specified by the bidder.

The solicitation extends preference to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses based in Colorado, though this is not an exclusive set-aside designation that would restrict other bidders from responding. All prospective bidders must be registered on the Colorado Vendor Self Service (VSS) website at www.colorado.gov/vss to respond to this solicitation. No incumbent vendor information was identified in the procurement documents, and no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available materials. The Department reserves the right to divide the award among multiple bidders if determined to be in the State's best interests and may cancel any order for which delivery is not made by the stated June 30, 2016, delivery date. Technical points of contact are designated for each facility to facilitate communication regarding specifications and requirements.
