Evacuation Chairs

The State of Maine Division of Purchases is requesting quotations for evacuation chairs, with bids due July 3, 2013.

All quotations must be submitted electronically through the State of Maine's Vendor Self Service (VSS) platform by 2:00 p.m. local time on the closing date. Bidders may submit multiple quotations and must upload supporting documentation within the VSS system prior to closure. The system operates on a blind-bid basis until the RFQ officially closes.

The State reserves the right to award based on the lowest priced quotation conforming to specifications or on a best-value basis considering quality, conformity, delivery time, and cost, with price weighted at a minimum of 25 percent of total evaluation criteria. Delivery terms are FOB Destination, with the bidder bearing all transportation costs. Payment terms are net 30 days from receipt of correct invoice. The State reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities by up to 10 percent at agreed-upon pricing and may terminate the contract in whole or in part at its discretion.

All prices must be submitted exclusive of federal and state taxes. Cash discounts offered for payment in less than 20 days will not be considered in evaluation. Successful bidders must furnish items exactly as specified, with deviation serving as grounds for termination or cancellation. The contract is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Maine. Vendor support is available throughout registration and the bidding process.
