Common use of RFP Objective Clause in Contracts

RFP Objective. The objective of this RFP is to obtain best value, and in some cases achieve more favorable pricing, than is obtainable by an individual state or local government entity because of the collective volume of potential purchases by numerous state and local government entities. The savings realized by the contractor in managing one comprehensive WSCA-NASPO Master Agreement rather than numerous state and local contracts should result in the most attractive service level and discounts available in the marketplace. The Master Agreement(s) resulting from this procurement may be used by state governments (including departments, agencies, institutions), institutions of higher education, political subdivisions (i.e., colleges, school districts, counties, cities, etc.), and other eligible entities subject to approval of the individual state procurement director and compliance with local statutory and regulatory provisions (“Purchasing Entities”). This will be a re-solicitation for a Master Agreement for the State of New Mexico and WSCA- NASPO. While the primary purpose of this solicitation is to select an Offeror(s) who can offer the Products or Services for all Participating States, Offerors are permitted to submit a proposal on more limited geographical areas, but not less than one entire Participating State. Offerors must clearly describe the geographical limits (e.g. by State name) if proposing a geographical area less than that of all Participating States. However, if an Offeror elects to submit a Proposal for a single State then the Offeror must be willing to supply the entire State and will not be allowed to add additional States following award or at any time during the term of the contract or any renewals. The Lead State/Sourcing Team, with the assistance as deemed advisable of the relevant Participating State (or relevant group of Participating States), may evaluate and select an Offeror for award in more limited geographical areas (e.g. a single state) where judged to be in the best interests of the Participating Entity involved.
