Extension and Dollar-Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Office Supplies and Products for Citywide Departments and the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures Cooperative Members as requested by the Business Services Department (Citywide)
The 6-month contract extension and increase are needed to allow enough time to do a new solicitation. Purchasing is choosing to re-time the solicitation of the contract to move away from the beginning of the calendar year, as that is when manufacturers push new pricing to office supply vendors.
The Business Services Department and Purchasing recommend extending the contract through September 30, 2020 and increasing the dollar-limit with WIST Office Products by $550,000, from $650,000 to $1,200,000 (Mesa Spend), based on estimated usage.
