Defibrillators

The State of Nevada is seeking to purchase new defibrillator units and is offering credit/rebates for the return of approximately 17 existing G3 AED units. The procurement is open to all vendors, with the state requesting that bidders provide a negative unit price to reflect the rebate amount for the returned equipment. The awarded vendor will be responsible for receiving the old units, and the state will issue the credit/rebate once the new units have been delivered. Vendors must review the Standard Terms and Conditions for Commodities, which outline requirements such as brand name and alternate item considerations, payment terms, bid evaluation procedures, and state preferences. The state will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, with factors such as delivery location, product qualities, total cost of ownership, and conformity to specifications taken into consideration. Preferences are given to Nevada-based businesses, businesses owned by disabled veterans, and those that use inmate labor. The contract term is up to two years, with the option to extend annually, and pricing must remain firm for the duration.

The procurement process will be managed through the NevadaEPro online system, and vendors must follow the provided quote submission instructions, which detail how to view and respond to the open bid, including entering quote details and uploading required documents. Quotes must be submitted prior to the specified bid opening date and time, and vendors should carefully review all terms and conditions, noting any exceptions during the submission process. While the state has not provided any specific budget range or award value, the rebate for the returned AED units may factor into the overall contract value.
