The solicitation offers preference points for certified businesses, with 12% available for targeted group businesses, economically disadvantaged businesses, and veteran-owned businesses, and an additional 6% for eligible DEED/DHS providers. Small businesses, particularly those owned by minorities, women, persons with disabilities, or veterans located in economically disadvantaged counties, are encouraged to participate. The estimated contract value ranges between $10,000 and $15,000, with potential for multiple vendor awards. Bidders must be registered as either a bidder or supplier and must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability ($2M per occurrence), Commercial Automobile Liability ($2M per occurrence), Workers' Compensation, and Garagekeepers Liability. Prompt payment discounts are offered, ranging from 1-5% for payment terms between 10-30 days, and the state reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
