Summary:
On April 10, 2017, City Council approved the use of State of Florida Contract #07-44111513-17-01 with Staples Contract & Commercial, Inc. operating as Staples Advantage. Since the approval, the State of Florida has advised that the supplemental agreement with Staples to allow purchases of office supplies which are not listed on the State of Florida contract is not allowed.
To provide the City the broadest spectrum for product availability and best pricing, approval is now requested to utilize National Joint Powers Alliance Cooperative (NJPA) contract RFP 010615 with Staples Advantage (also known as Staples Business Advantage). The NJPA contract includes all products available from Staples, including those that are not available on the State of Florida contract, and contract pricing at Staples retail locations.
The current contract term is effective through July 31, 2019 with the option to renew for one additional one (1) year period. This is an indefinite quantity contract. Actual expenditures will vary as usage will be on an as-needed basis at the established unit prices and available funding. Based on prior usage reports, the estimated annual expenditure is $250,000.00 City-wide.
There are no Florida based City Certified M/WBE suppliers that provide this service. |
