Noncompetive purchase through GSA - SAFCO - TechWorks

The University of North Dakota (UND) located in Grand Forks County is executing a noncompetitive purchase of SAFCO - TechWorks products through Norby's Work Perks, utilizing GSA Cooperative contract #47QSMS24D0039. This procurement process involves purchasing specific products with a total purchase price of $13,363.11. The procurement will be conducted through the State Procurement Office Online system, with vendors required to electronically submit responses by October 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM CT. Vendors are invited to submit alternative proposals or demonstrate equivalent products and services, with strict submission guidelines including a maximum of five clearly labeled documents, each no larger than 50MB. The justification for the noncompetitive approach is that contracts have been previously bid out by GSA to secure the best pricing. Interested vendors must provide comprehensive documentation including detailed company information, contact details, product specifications, potential value-added features, and complete cost information.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The procurement is open to vendors who can provide products through the GSA Cooperative contract and meet the specified submission requirements. While Norby's Work Perks is identified as the purchasing conduit, they are not necessarily an incumbent vendor but rather a facilitator of the transaction. The total purchase value is $13,363.11, which represents the current budget range for this specific procurement. The procurement process emphasizes technical compliance and comprehensive proposal preparation, with a clear warning that technical submission difficulties will not be grounds for deadline extension. Vendors are encouraged to demonstrate how their solutions meet or exceed the university's requirements through detailed and precise documentation.
