Dorm Twin Mattress Purchase

The Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind (CSDB) has issued a Documented Quote (DQ) solicitation for the purchase of twin mattresses on behalf of El Paso County and Colorado Springs City. The procurement seeks 102 Twin XL Spring Mattresses and 19 Twin Spring Mattresses, each with a minimum 2-inch foam top and 10-inch height. All mattresses must be delivered by June 30, 2017, on a FOB Destination basis, with all shipping, handling, and delivery charges included in the bid price. Interested vendors must submit their responses by May 22, 2017, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time via email to Pete Peterson at ppeterson@csdb.org, with pricing to remain firm for the entire purchase order term. The evaluation will be conducted at CSDB's sole discretion, with cost designated as the primary consideration factor. Bidders are required to provide unit costs, total costs, warranty information, and an estimated delivery date as part of their bid package. No bidders' conference or site visit is scheduled for this solicitation.

Responses must be submitted by vendors registered with ColoradoVSS; however, non-registered vendor quotes will be considered if adequate competition does not exist among registered vendors. The State of Colorado is offering a 5% price preference to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) that submit proper certification documentation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. All vendors must complete and submit a W-9 form as a mandatory requirement for payment processing, with particular attention to accuracy to prevent payment delays. The solicitation is contingent upon continuing availability of state funds, and CSDB reserves the right to reject all quotes and re-solicit or cancel the solicitation entirely without penalty. Specific budget or award values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents; however, the scope involves procurement of 121 mattresses total with delivery completion by mid-year 2017. The standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions for the State of Colorado apply, including provisions for tax exemption, payment within 45 days of invoice receipt, and compliance with E-Verify and cybersecurity requirements.
