Projectors

The State of Maine's Division of Purchases is soliciting bids on projectors, with bids due August 30, 2011. The source provides no specific contract value, term length, quantity, performance location, evaluation criteria weighting, incumbent information, or technical specifications beyond the commodity category.

The Division reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive formalities, and make awards on an item-by-item or group basis to one or multiple vendors at its discretion. In case of tie bids, preference is given to in-state bidders or vendors offering Maine-manufactured products or services. Awards will be made to the lowest responsible bidder offering best value, with evaluation factors including quality, conformity with specifications, delivery date, and total cost.

All bids must be submitted electronically by the closing date; late submissions are rejected. Bidders must submit separate unit prices for each item and specify delivery terms in definite language. The state is exempt from federal and Maine state sales taxes and will not pay transportation charges unless otherwise specified in the bid. Cash discounts of 20 days or more will be considered in determining the low bid. Samples, when required, must be provided at no cost to the state. The contractor cannot assign, sublet, or transfer the contract without written consent from the Director.
