All deliveries must be FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, with contractor-provided unloading at state docks, limited to business hours (8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday–Friday), and completed within thirty calendar days of order receipt. All lumber is subject to moisture meter and stress testing; rejected shipments must be replaced by the contractor within twenty calendar days at no additional cost.

Historical usage under the previous contract (CC231535001) ranged from approximately $41,000 to $297,000 annually across fiscal years 2023–2026. Pricing shall be firm and fixed based on kiln-dried net tally price from the Hardwood Market Report for the Saturday prior to RFP issue date, with vendors submitting adjustment prices per board feet for line items 1–22 and percentage discounts for percentage-off items (line items 23–24). Cost evaluation will extend calculated totals by three to represent the three-year contract period (one year from award with two optional one-year renewals).

Organizations for the Blind and Sheltered Workshops may receive five to fifteen bonus points if providing commercially useful services valued at the greater of $5,000 or 2% of total contract value.
