Award will be made on a best value basis using measurable criteria allocating 90 points to price and 10 points to delivery time, with vendors required to specify delivery in working days. Vendors may propose equal or approved alternate brands and specifications if descriptive literature is provided, and all responses must include a signed solicitation form, completed quote information, and required affidavits.

Kentucky resident bidders may receive reciprocal preference against nonresident bidders, and qualified bidders including Kentucky Correctional Industries, Kentucky Industries for the Blind, and nonprofits serving individuals with severe disabilities may receive additional preference points. The solicitation permits vendors to propose equal or approved alternate product brands provided that descriptive literature demonstrates compliance with minimum specifications; quotes without equal products clearly meeting specifications will be deemed non-responsive. Vendor past performance during the preceding 12 months may be considered in the evaluation process, and vendors with poor performance records may be deemed non-responsible for award. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available procurement information, though the total contract value will depend on vendor pricing and the evaluation of best value criteria established in the solicitation.
