Disks

The State of Maine Division of Purchases is soliciting bids for disks, with bids due December 11, 2007.

The Division of Purchases will award to the lowest responsible bidder based on best value to the State, considering quality, conformance to specifications, delivery dates, and ultimate cost. Bids must use prescribed forms and be submitted in sealed format or electronically to Room 119, 9 State House Station, State Office Building, Augusta, Maine prior to the opening deadline; bids received after opening will not be considered. Bidders must submit separate unit prices for each item unless otherwise specified, with prices stated in units of the quantity specified and delivered to destination, including all discounts. The State is exempt from Federal and Maine State Sales and Use Taxes and should not be included in bids. Cash discounts of 20 days or more are considered in determining the low bidder; discounts under 20 days will not be considered. All transportation charges, including freight and express delivery, shall be prepaid by the contractor unless otherwise specified. In tie-bid situations, preference is given to in-state bidders or those offering commodities produced or manufactured in Maine.

The Division of Purchases reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive formalities or technicalities, and increase or decrease quantities by up to 10% unless otherwise stated. The contractor must furnish items exactly as specified on the Purchase Order; any deviation constitutes grounds for rejection. Bids may be withdrawn by written notice prior to contract award.
