We also encourage and promote using minimal packaging and the use of recycled/recyclable products in the packaging
of commodities purchased. However, no sacrifice in quality of packaging will be acceptable. The company remains
responsible for providing packaging that will protect the commodity and contain it for its intended use. Companies are
strongly urged to bring to the attention of purchasers those products or packaging they offer which have recycled content
and that are recyclable.

price is obviously in error and the other is obviously correct, the incorrect price will be disregarded.
15. REFERENCES: The University reserves the right to require a list of users of the exact item offered. The quote
evaluators may contact these users to determine acceptability of the bid. Such information may be considered in the

bidder, the University reserves the right to accept any item or group of items on a multi-item bid.

award. Only those communications authorized by this RFQ are permitted.
