Historical expenditures for the previous contract (FY2023–FY2026) totaled approximately $723,000. The contract term runs from award through one year, with Division of Purchasing retaining the right to renew for two additional one-year periods.

Vendors utilizing Organizations for the Blind or Sheltered Workshops in an amount equal to at least two percent or $5,000 of total contract value may receive five to fifteen bonus points. Amendment No. 01 removed line items 2–4 from the original pricing page and corrected "Popular Lumper" to "Poplar Lumber."
