Disposable Boots and Shoecovers

The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources is seeking vendors to provide disposable boots and shoe covers. Specifically, the Department is requesting bids for plastic disposable boots (3-mil with elastic tops to accommodate work boots up to size 13 with a rough bottom surface), blue skid-resistant shoe covers for outdoor use, and waffle sole boot covers. The contract will be for one year with six annual renewal options, and the anticipated annual expenditure is approximately $1,000. Interested vendors must submit sealed written responses by May 30, 2014 at 5:00 PM, with pricing for the specific items requested, any discounts off the vendor's catalog price, and confirmation of the ability to deliver the items within the agreed upon timeframe. The evaluation criteria focus on the price of the supplies, including shipping, the vendor's catalog, and the ability to deliver the items within the agreed upon timeframe.

There are no set-asides, incumbent contractors, or specific funding requirements mentioned in the document. Vendors must include any percent discount off the catalog price as part of their bid submission. The contract will be awarded to the vendor that provides the best overall value to the Department, considering the evaluation criteria.
