Assistive Communication Equipment & Distribution

The State of Minnesota is seeking proposals for assistive communication equipment and distribution services to assist people with disabilities who require specific accommodations for communication. The contract term is anticipated to be from February 2026 through January 2028, with the option to extend up to an additional 3 years. The estimated total dollar value of the contract for one year is $60,000 to $70,000. Responders must provide either products listed in the Price Schedule or products to be considered for Approved Equal status. The evaluation process will consider factors such as acceptance of the State's terms and conditions, required specification narrative answers, desirable specifications, and cost detail. Some key points to consider: * The State desires open and fair competition, and questions from responders must be submitted in writing before the due date and time. * The State reserves the right to reject any and all responses, waive or modify any informalities, and negotiate with the highest scoring responder. * The State will consider documented past performance resulting from a State contract in the evaluation process. * Responders must not submit trade secret material, and the State does not consider cost or prices to be trade secret material. * The State reserves the right to request additional information and to use estimated usage or scenarios for pricing evaluations.
