QCC16-G001 Dental Clinic Supplies Bid

Quinsigamond Community College in Massachusetts is seeking bids for a one-year contract, with two one-year extension options, to provide dental clinic supplies. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) requests pricing on a wide range of dental products including anesthetics, needles, disinfectants, impression materials, x-ray supplies, personal protective equipment, and other consumable items. Bidders must provide unit prices, extended prices, and information on alternate manufacturers for the 136 line items listed. The estimated annual value of the contract is $46,822.28 for the specified items, and the college also seeks a percentage discount on any additional miscellaneous dental supplies estimated at $100,000 annually. Bids are due by August 26, 2015 at 2:00 PM, and the contract is expected to commence immediately upon mutual written agreement between the successful bidder and the college.

The IFB does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The previous contract was awarded to Patterson Dental, but no other information is provided on incumbent vendors or current contractors. Similarly, there is no information given on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, and the college reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
