PART ONE – SOLICITATION INFORMATION

1. ANNOUNCEMENT AND SPECIAL INFORMATION

1. INTRODUCTION

This document contains Part One - Solicitation Information, and Part Two - Contract Information, and Appendices.

Bidders are required to read, understand and accept all information contained within this entire document. By responding to this Solicitation, the Bidder agrees to have read, understand, and accept all parts of the document.

This document will form the Contractual agreement between the Purchasing Activity and the awarded Contractor when countersigned by the State of Washington.

2. ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS

In support of the State’s economic and environmental goals, Bidders are encouraged to consider the following in responding to this solicitation:

-Support for a diverse supplier pool, including Small Businesses, Veteran Owned (VO) and Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE). Achievement is encouraged whether directly or through subcontractors. Bidders may contact the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise to obtain information on certified firms or to become certified. As part of the selection process, Bidders are required to submit a comprehensive Small Business/MWBE outreach plan that will equitably spread subcontracting opportunities to MWBE subcontracting firms(Bidders shall identify themselves as these types of firms, or if a partnership exists with these types of firms - reference Appendix E “Bidder Profile”)

-Use of environmentally preferable goods and services to include post consumer waste and recycled content (please reference Senate House Bill 2287 which requires state agencies to utilize 100% recycled content copier paper as well as directing DES to adopt strategies to increase purchases of recycled content products. (Bidders shall identify products offered that contain recycled content - reference Section Five “Preparation of Response” and Appendix D, Price Sheets)

-Products made or grown in Washington (Bidders shall identify products offered that are made or grown in Washington - reference Section 5 “Preparation of Response” and Appendix D, Price Sheets)

2. SUMMARY OF OPPORTUNITY

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Solicitation is to establish an office supply contract. The current Contract #09205 is scheduled to expire March 19, 2012 having been extended the maximum terms allowable.

The following categories are included:

CATEGORY DESCRIPTION

One Office Supplies (3031 lines items) (see Appendix D – Price Profile)

Two Ink & Toner (198 line items) (see Appendix D – Price Profile)

Three Paper – Multipurpose, Printing & Duplicating (116 line items) (see Appendix D –Price Profile)

All categories are for desk top delivery to any location within the state, including remote areas. Unlike the existing contract, this contract is limited to the specific items specified herein in Appendix D “Price Profile”, Category Price Sheets, with “net pricing” to be applied. Items may only be added and/or deleted by contract amendment at the discretion of the Purchasing Activity, who anticipates implementation of a process to routinely “refresh” contract items as required. Regardless, an established list of “core” items will be maintained, similar in volume to that represented in this RFP. Successful contractor(s) will be prohibited from providing access to noncontract items under the umbrella of this contract, either in marketing materials or websites developed specifically to service this account. The state maintains separate contracts or other authorized sources of supply exist that provide the bulk of the items not included, and customers will be directed to purchase from those sources accordingly.

2. PURCHASERS

General Use

The resulting Contract is for use by all members of the Washington State Purchasing Cooperative (WSPC) including where applicable: State Agencies, Institutions of Higher Education, Political Subdivisions, and Non-Profit Corporations. The current contractor has identified approximately 270 existing ship to locations, a list of which will be provided to successful contractor(s) upon award.

While use of the Contract by Political Subdivisions and Non-Profit Corporations that are members of the WSPC is optional, DES encourages them to use state Contracts. Their use of the Contracts may significantly increase the purchase volume. Their orders are subject to the same Contract terms, conditions and pricing as state agencies. DES accepts no responsibility for orders or payment by WSPC members.

A list of WSPC members is available at

3. CONTRACT TERM

The initial term of this Contract is two (2) years from date of award with the option to extend for additional term(s) or portions thereof.  Extensions for each additional term(s) or portion thereof shall be exercised at the sole discretion of the Purchasing Activity upon written notice to the Contractor(s).  The total Contract term, including the initial term and all subsequent extensions, shall not exceed eight (8) years unless an emergency exists and/or special circumstances require a partial term extension.  The State reserves the right to extend with all or some of the Contractors, solely determined by the State.

4. ESTIMATED USAGE & ORDER HISTORY

Usage: Based on past and/or projected usage, it is estimated that purchases over the initial three year term of the Contract will approximate $45,000,000.00 (see below). This estimate is provided solely for the purpose of assisting Bidders in preparing their Response. Orders will be placed on an as needed basis. Appendix D, Category Price Sheets provides past purchase quantities (which will be used for bid evaluation purposes for “Cost”).

The State of Washington does not represent or guarantee any minimum purchase. The value of the bid solicitation over any term cannot be precisely known. The Bidder shall be mindful that non-Washington State agencies, e.g., political subdivisions, Washington State Purchasing Cooperative (WSPC) members, etc., are not obliged to use this contract nor can the State compel the political subdivisions, cooperative members and non-profit corporations or any other customer to purchase on this contract when awarded. The Bidder making its own interpretation of the informational data and understands, accepts and assumes all sales volume usage risks including but not limited to the potential for zero sales.

Category Title Estimated Value/Three Years

One Office Supplies $15,000,000.00 ($5,000,000/year)

Two Ink & Toner $15,000,000.00 ($5,000,000/year)

Three Paper $15,000,000.00 ($5,000,000/year)

The current contract #09205 is worth approx. $22,000,000 a year (combination of all three categories plus other spend not included in this RFP) with approx. 50% attributable to State Agencies, approx. 42% to Higher Education and approx. 8% to Political Subdivisions. It is unknown at this time the anticipated level of Higher Education or Political Subdivision participation, and the “estimated value” has been adjusted based upon that information.

A current twelve month (June 2010 to June 2011) purchase analysis of Contract #09205 indicates the following:

The 3400+ line items specified in Appendix D, Category Price Sheets, represent approx. 76% of the year 2010-2011 spend. Contract activity indicates the following:

Total Number of Orders: 138,000 Average Order Amt: $160.00

Total Number of Order Lines: 499,325* Average Order Lines: 4

Delivery Locations: 270

Approx. one third of the orders were for less than $50.00 however represented only 10% of the overall spend.

*based upon 25,000 line items purchased off the “catalog contract” via a set core contract list, discount off list and discount off retail for all products made available (approx. 60,000 items) through the contractor’s online catalog.

5. NO COSTS OR CHARGES

Costs or charges under the proposed Contract incurred before the Contract is fully executed will be the sole responsibility of the Bidder.

6. NO BEST AND FINAL OFFER

The Purchasing Activity reserves the right to make an award without further discussion of the Response submitted; i.e., there will be no best and final offer request. Therefore, the Response should be submitted on the most favorable terms that Bidder intends to offer.

1 OFFICE OF STATE PROCUREMENT ADMINISTRATIVE REIMBURSEMENT

This contract is subject to an “administrative fee” of one half of one percent.  Based upon dollar usage sold under the authority of the contract (as remitted to OSP on a quarterly basis as defined herein), awarded contractor(s) are to remit to OSP a one half of one (.5) percent “administrative fee” for reimbursement of program administrative costs.  Payment will be due in conjunction with the quarterly usage report described herein and will be an amount equal to one half of one (.5) percent of the previous quarterly usage total/total sales activity.  Continual delinquency of payment may be considered cause for contract termination.
