NEW OPENING DATE AND TIME NEW AWARD POSTING DATE: November 20, 2008 at 11:00 am November 26, 2008 1. QUESTION On Page 7 it states: (b) Multiple Offers. Offerors may submit more than one Offer, provided that each Offer has significant differences other than price. Can vendors submit more than one offer if different platforms will be used? While Corporate Express is a Staples company and we will offer one discount for sales through both Staples Business Advantage and Corporate Express, Corporate Express operates off of a different ordering platform and delivers through a different system. Per the guidelines established above this would constitute as a significant difference other than price. ANSWER: This situation does not constitute as a multiple offer. 2. QUESTION: On Page 10- In the listing of the items that are EXCLUDED from this contract, dated goods do not appear. We, as every other vendor, will not receive the pricing on these new items for the 2010 season (which will be ordered in 2009) until July, 2009. We cannot submit pricing on these items at this time for that reason, but will be able to do so in July, 2009. ANSWER: Dated material has been added to the exclusion list. See new exclusion list. 3. QUESTION: On Page 11 under the section entitled "MINIMUM ORDER/SHIP QUANTITY OR DOLLAR VALUE" it states, "The Materials Management Office has established a minimum order value of $250.00 per order to promote the consolidation of small orders. In order to encourage agencies to purchase from minority and women-owned businesses, this contract is not mandatory for purchases under $250.00." a) Is this applicable to all orders throughout the system or only those orders through the South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS) system? Would the University of South Carolina and other institutions that are not on the system also institute such a policy? What about for call in orders?
