Health Office Supplies 2026-2027

Rochester Public Schools Independent School District #535 in Olmsted County, Minnesota, is soliciting quotations for health office supplies to be provided district-wide for the 2026-2027 school year through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 27000. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to supply new, unused, and first-quality health office supplies with firm pricing for the entire contract period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with all costs including shipping and handling delivered FOB to designated District locations. Vendors must have been actively operating in the health and/or related product industry for a minimum of three years prior to proposal submission and must be capable of providing next-day to 48-hour delivery to all District sites under normal circumstances while maintaining a product shelf life of at least six months from delivery date. Qualified vendors are required to submit comprehensive product lists including safety features, chemical composition, and Material Safety Data Sheets prior to contract award, and must complete and return an Assurance of Compliance form certifying familiarity with classifications and specifications for the health and related supplies under consideration. The District will award the contract on a line-item basis to the lowest responsible bidder(s) based on overall ability to meet all specified criteria rather than price alone, with proposals to be submitted through the Euna Procurement Portal by the April 24, 2026, deadline. Submitted proposals cannot be withdrawn for sixty days from the opening date, and the District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to terminate the contract without cause with thirty days' written notice.

The procurement documents do not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions targeting disadvantaged enterprises or particular organizational categories, nor do they reference incumbent vendors or existing contractors currently providing these services. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation. The District intends to establish an initial one-year contract term with potential for renewal at the District's discretion, and reserves the right to negotiate final contract terms or withdraw offers if mutually acceptable terms cannot be reached between the parties.
