Summary:
Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Purchase Requisition(PR)/Order (PO) No. R123863/PO220419 was solicited to purchase 1,680 cases of high speed copy paper for the Purchasing Warehouse supply inventory and for district-wide use. District staff expedited a RFQ, as several other Districts and County Office Of Educations were seeing the cost of case of paper dramatically increase, and was anticipating it to hit as high as $40/case, due to supply and demand. We quickly went out for quotes in hopes of avoiding a price jump and paper shortage.

Of the ten (10) vendors solicited, only three (3) quotes were received. One (1) was removed from consideration as it received after the due date. The lowest responsive, responsible quote received is from Office Depot, in the amount of $47,662.23, all taxes included.
