Omation 306

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of General Services, Division of Purchases, is requesting quotations for an Omation 306 Sorter on behalf of the Maine Revenue Service under RFQ Omation 306, with quotations due July 12, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time through the State's AdvantageME/Vendor Self Service electronic procurement system.

Award will be made on a best value basis, evaluating product quality, specification conformance, delivery date, and state economic impact. For contracts exceeding $100,000 in value, the bidder providing the largest economic impact receives a 10 percent reduction in evaluated bid price, with proportional reductions applied to other bidders based on their economic impact ratios — a material competitive factor that rewards in-state benefit.

Quotations must include all shipping and handling charges with inside delivery and lift gate service. The State is exempt from federal, state, and local taxes and will not reimburse bidder preparation costs. Payment terms are net 30 upon receipt of accurate invoices. Bidders must certify non-debarment status, non-collusion, and accuracy of submitted information. The Division reserves the right to negotiate with the selected bidder, withdraw its award if acceptable contract terms cannot be reached, or cancel the RFQ at its sole discretion.
