RFP 24-070 copy paper

Paragraph 1:

This state and local contracting opportunity is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Floyd County Board of Education (FCBOE) for the provision of copy paper. The FCBOE is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide 5,040 cases of 20-pound, 92+ brightness, 8.5x11 inch copy paper to be delivered to the FCBOE Warehouse in Rome, Georgia. Proposals are due by June 5, 2024 at 10:00 AM local time, and the FCBOE will award the contract to the most advantageous proposal based on factors beyond price alone. Vendors must submit samples of any proposed paper by May 20, 2024 for evaluation. The contract term is for an initial period with potential renewal options, and pricing is to be firm for the first year, with potential increases limited for subsequent years.

Paragraph 2:

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The previous contract holder and pricing information is not available, so there is no incumbent vendor or current contractor listed. The FCBOE has indicated that it has the necessary infrastructure, including a forklift and pallet jack, to accommodate 53-foot trailers for the delivery of the copy paper. The RFP does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but the procurement of 5,040 cases of copy paper suggests a significant contract value.
