Janitorial Paper Products - State Wide Master Agreement

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services Office of State Procurement Services (OSPS) is seeking quotations from vendors to establish a statewide master agreement for the provision of janitorial paper products, including toilet tissue, paper towels, facial tissue, and napkins. The initial contract term is from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, with four optional one-year extensions. OSPS is requesting quotations by November 22, 2024, with questions due by November 18, 2024. The State reserves the right to make a single award or multiple awards based on best value, with delivery times as a potential factor. Pricing must be provided on a "Free on Board (FOB) - Destination" basis, with the State exempt from taxes. The estimated annual contract value is approximately $300,000 based on recent usage, but the actual award value could vary depending on the number of participating agencies and facilities.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the documents do not provide information about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The State is willing to extend the awarded contract pricing to municipalities, political subdivisions, and school districts in Maine at the bidder's discretion.
