All proposals must include the manufacturer's suggested retail price, estimated ship dates, and all agreements and terms the state will be subject to, including end-user license agreements, enterprise license agreements, and acceptable use policies. Pricing must remain valid for at least 90 days after the due date. Multi-year charges must be quoted on a per-year basis. Installation services cannot exceed 49% of the PORFP value and cannot be purchased alone.
