The contract term begins approximately July 1, 2026 for an initial 12-month period with options to renew for up to four additional 12-month periods based on vendor performance and fund availability.

Vendors must quote a single, firm unit price per item on a net F.O.B. destination basis with inside delivery at no additional cost; pricing will remain the maximum throughout the agreement period. All submissions must be made electronically through the Ocean State Procures system at www.ridop.ri.gov; email, mail, fax, and hand delivery are not accepted.

Awarded vendors must maintain general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation of $100,000 per accident, and automobile liability of $1 million per occurrence. A contract administrative fee of 0.33% of total annual contract value will be withheld from vendor invoices. Vendors are responsible for all costs associated with non-compliance testing and face contract revocation if products fail to meet specifications. The State reserves the right to make one or multiple awards and to reject any or all bids at its sole discretion.
