Contract: office supplies- consumable

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services Division of Procurement and Support Services is seeking a comprehensive five-year contract for office supplies-consumable, with an option to extend for an additional four years. The procurement encompasses a wide range of office products including bags and boxes, computer accessories, desk accessories, envelopes, files and folders, labels, notebooks, paper, and writing supplies. Bidders must provide detailed pricing information on the provided Offer Sheet, with pricing required to remain firm for the first year and potentially adjustable annually thereafter, capped at 3% increases. The solicitation requires vendors to meet specific criteria, including the ability to supply environmentally friendly products and provide comprehensive delivery services to state agencies. Key dates include a bid submission deadline of September 4, 2024, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time, with the contract anticipated to commence on November 1, 2024, or upon final approval. Evaluation criteria focus on the lowest cost per line item, with vendors required to submit detailed product specifications, pricing, and potential environmental benefits of their offerings.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the state's comprehensive office supplies requirements. While no incumbent vendor was identified, the solicitation indicates the contract will cover statewide office supply needs across various state agencies. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or total contract value, but the extensive product list and statewide scope suggest a potentially significant annual expenditure. Vendors must demonstrate capability to provide a full range of office supplies, maintain competitive pricing, offer an electronic ordering system, and comply with detailed reporting and delivery requirements. The contract includes provisions for potential additions or deletions of locations and items throughout the contract term, providing flexibility for the state's evolving office supply needs.
