The agency has specified that no more than 400 backpacks can be received per scheduled delivery, and white glove delivery service is mandatory to bring the products up to the 13th floor of the office building. The containers used for delivery must also be sturdy to allow for later transportation by agency staff. The required contents, delivery specifications, and quantity limits are outlined in an attached Excel file. The procurement opportunity was posted on July 9, 2018, with a due date of July 23, 2018.
