The estimated 12-month quantity requirement is 220 units per case, with delivery required within ten business days of receiving a term contract delivery order between 8:30 A.M. and 3:30 P.M., Monday through Friday, on an F.O.B. destination basis at the Palm Beach County Purchasing Warehouse in West Palm Beach, Florida.

All quoters must provide drug-free workplace certification and commercial non-discrimination certification with their submissions and comply with all applicable Federal, State, County, and local laws.

The County has established set-aside preferences for Small/Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (S/M/WBE) certified small businesses, offering preference to such vendors within 10% of the lowest responsive, responsible vendor bid. Additionally, a 5% local preference is available to quoters with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades, verified by a valid Business Tax Receipt. The County is exempt from Federal and State taxes, and payment shall be rendered only upon satisfaction and acceptance of delivered items, with invoices submitted to the Palm Beach County Finance Department.

The County reserves the right to increase or decrease total quantities as necessary throughout the contract term and will return non-conforming items at the vendor's expense. While a specific award value or budget range is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the estimated quantity of 220 units over the 12-month period provides a baseline for quoters to calculate anticipated contract value based on their proposed unit pricing.
