Office Supplies

Collier County, Florida is seeking to establish multiple contracts with retail stores for office supplies through a Quick Quote procurement process issued by the Facilities Management Division. The county requires vendors to offer their entire product line, including food products, arts and crafts materials, and educational supplies, with quotes based on a discount from "shelf price" items. Vendors must submit responses by October 4, 2025, at 3:30 pm through the county's online bidding system, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 24, 2025, at 1:19 pm. Potential suppliers must submit any questions by October 3, 2025, at 3:30 pm. The county will select the most responsive vendor with the lowest quote, with the expectation that pricing will remain firm for the term of the purchase order. Evaluation criteria include the ability to offer a comprehensive product range, competitive pricing, and compliance with specified insurance requirements.

The procurement opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types. Vendors must have business outlets within specified county locations and provide proof of workers' compensation, employer's liability, and commercial general liability insurance. The county is a tax-exempt political subdivision, meaning no sales tax will be charged on purchases. Vendors must confirm understanding of insurance specifications within five days of award and comply with various operational requirements outlined in the county's Purchase Order Terms and Conditions. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract is characterized as a one-time purchase with potential for ongoing office supply procurement. Successful vendors must possess appropriate business tax receipts, professional licenses, and comply with immigration verification requirements (E-Verify), ensuring a comprehensive and legally compliant approach to the procurement process.
