DQ1, FRCC-DQ-17-15-W, Anesthesia Machine Package

Front Range Community College (FRCC), a Colorado state agency located in Adams County, issued a Documented Quote solicitation (FRCC-DQ-17-15-W) for the procurement of anesthesia equipment to support its healthcare programs. The solicitation seeks quotes for two refurbished Narkomed 2B anesthesia machines (non-functioning units) equipped with AVE Electronic Ventilators, 3-Gas Oxygen Analyzers, centralized alarm and data respiratory systems, oxygen volume controllers, pressure limit controllers, monitors, and one-year warranties, along with two anesthesia carts. All equipment must be delivered to FRCC's Westminster Campus at 3645 W 112th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80031. Vendors must submit quotes by October 31, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. to the Purchasing Office, Room C2001, either in person or by email at purchasing@frontrange.edu. Bids must include delivery timelines, warranty information, and acknowledge receipt of any addenda. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on pricing and specification compliance, with all vendors required to be registered on the Colorado Operations Resource Engine (CORE) prior to the bid opening date, though non-registered vendors may be considered if CORE-registered vendors do not provide adequate competition.

All vendors are responsible for including shipping, miscellaneous fees, and any costs associated with damaged or incorrect products within their bid totals, and quotes must be exclusive of federal and state sales taxes as FRCC holds tax exemption number 98-02565. Colorado-based businesses will receive preference in cases of equal bids, representing a geographic set-aside consideration. No specific incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned in the solicitation. Financial obligations are contingent upon appropriation and budgeting of funds for the current fiscal year, and no formal contracts will be utilized; instead, orders will be placed through Purchase Orders subject to State of Colorado Terms and Conditions. The specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the solicitation documents.
