University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Invitation for Bid: Furnish & Deliver Ammunition
After disqualification of bids for responsiveness issues, the remaining bids reflected pricing overall that was significantly higher than both last year's pricing, as well as the prices offered by other bidders, whose submissions were found to be non-responsive or non-responsible in one way or another. Upon re-examining the specifications outlined in the bid document, the department determined that the delivery time parameters stated in the section 5.2.1 no longer accurately reflected their supply needs and could unduly restrict competition. In the interests of fair and accurate competition, as well as the desire to obtain the best, market-supported, pricing for the University, the department determined that re-bidding this solicitations with corrections to the delivery time expectations was in the University's best interest. A revised solicitation will be published as 1EJB1704.
