The procurement encompasses ten distinct product categories including PowerFlex variable frequency drives (both 7.5 hp and 3 hp units), PanelView Plus HMI display units, CompactLogix controllers with associated power supplies and end caps, Stratix network switches (both managed and unmanaged), fiber optic transceivers, and fiber optic cable. Specific quantities are detailed for each item, with all quoted products required for delivery to the NJC campus on or before August 31, 2015. Quote submissions are due by August 14, 2015 at 4:00 PM and must be delivered to the NJC Purchasing Office at Walker Hall 105, 100 College Avenue, Sterling, CO 80751 via mail, fax, or email. All pricing must be provided on an FOB Destination basis with shipping and handling included in the quoted prices. The award will be made on an all-or-none basis to the responsive and responsible vendor offering the lowest total combined price and earliest delivery date. Bidders must submit a Vendor Response Form, Vendor Disclosure Statement, W-9 form, warranty information, and detailed product descriptions, and must be authorized dealers or distributors of the brands and manufacturers being quoted.

Vendor participation is generally restricted to those registered with the Colorado Vendor Self Service System (VSS), though non-registered vendors may be considered if adequate competition does not exist among VSS-registered vendors. A 5% preference allowance applies to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) incorporated or located in Colorado, evaluated for evaluation purposes only. All contractors must comply with standard State of Colorado contract provisions including independent contractor status, appropriate insurance coverage, strict adherence to federal and state laws, E-Verify employment eligibility verification for newly hired workers, and citizenship or lawful presence documentation for individual contractors. The State of Colorado is exempt from all federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes, and vendors shall not seek reimbursement for such taxes. No specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed in the solicitation documents, as this is a competitive quote-based procurement where pricing will be determined by vendor responses and subsequent evaluation of the lowest compliant bid.
