Pricing
Each vendor shall submit a percentage discount to be deducted from its effective catalog and/or descriptive price list. All prices shall be F.O.B. Destination unless otherwise noted. Even though catalog prices may change yearly, the percentage discount must remain fixed for the entire contract period. Allowable purchases also includes “Special Offers” by any vendor, if offered at more than discounted catalog prices. Prices shall be submitted in the form of a discount off manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) list in effect at time of solicitation due date, current contract pricing and GSA discount structure or better preferred. A comprehensive price list shall be included as part of the submittal Response that will include the item description, model number, MSRP, percentage discount off retail, contract purchase price, cost of shipping and handling, return policy, and refund policy.
This is a published catalog bid, and the price list shall contain every product available to the State for purchase as identified in its current Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price list. For each manufacturer’s brand bid, Bidders shall also submit catalog(s) and price list(s) for library materials and online services. Prices for materials and online services must be bid in order for the Bidder to be deemed responsive; however, this will not be part of the basis of award.
Percentage discount, or other derived factors used for library materials calculations, must be the same for all books and services. For example, if a 15% discount is proposed for one particular book and service, then that same percentage must apply to all books and services. These factors and percentage discounts must be good for the life of the contract. At the discretion of the eligible users and the Contractor, additional discounts or offers may be available. The State must be able to understand how pricing was derived in order to calculate future pricing when a new product or service is added to the Contract. Pricing parameters such as unit price and percentage discount for library materials off of a manufacturer’s retail price list will permit the State to maintain a consistent priced contract. Note: The price list submitted with Response will be used by agencies and eligible users to order goods and services. All prices must be listed. All costs are binding. Vendors are encouraged to offer larger discounts to qualified ordering entities for large, one time, single orders.
