Infant Contact Sheets

The state of Maine is seeking procurement of Infant Contact Sheets across three counties: Androscoggin, Penobscot, and Piscataquis, with a specific focus on Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program locations. The contract opportunity, posted on August 1, 2007, with a bid due date of August 2, 2007, involves the production and distribution of contact sheets for infant-related services. The procurement requires strict adherence to the provided bid instructions, including the use of prescribed bid forms and submission of hazardous chemical safety data sheets. Bidders must be prepared to potentially adjust quantities by up to 10% and understand that the state reserves the right to evaluate and award the contract based on comprehensive pricing and discount terms. The evaluation will consider factors such as pricing, compliance with specifications, and the ability to meet delivery requirements within the specified timeframes.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations were explicitly detailed in the available documentation. The contract appears to be open to standard commercial vendors capable of producing and distributing infant contact sheets for WIC program locations. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the procurement covers multiple county-level WIC program sites, suggesting a potentially multi-vendor or regional approach to service delivery. The documentation does not specify a precise award value or budget range for the contract. Bidders should note critical contract provisions, including potential removal from the bidder registry for failure to submit bids on three consecutive requests, and restrictions on contract assignment without written consent. The State of Maine maintains standard tax exemptions and reserves the right to procure materials from alternative sources in the event of contractor default.
