The evaluation and award decision will be based on multiple factors including cost, quality, safety and security considerations, projected delivery date, lifecycle costs, bidder qualifications and experience, and past performance. Bid prices must include all freight costs with FOB-Destination terms, and payment terms are assumed to be Net-45 days after receipt of goods and invoice unless otherwise specified by the bidder, though terms of less than 45 days may be considered if accompanied by a discount. The Department reserves the right to cancel any order if delivery is not made by the stated date and encourages bidders to provide a projected delivery date in their quote response.

No incumbent vendor or current contractor was identified in the solicitation documents.
