Late bids or amendments will be considered non-responsive and will not be opened or accepted for evaluation.
SEC. 1.04 PRIOR EXPERIENCE
No specific minimums have been set for this ITB.
SEC. 1.05 REQUIRED REVIEW
Bidders shall carefully review this ITB for defects and questionable or objectionable material. Comments
concerning defects and questionable or objectionable material in the ITB should be made in writing and received
by the procurement officer at least ten days before the deadline for receipt of bids. This will allow time for an
amendment to be issued if one is required. It will also help prevent the opening of a defective bid, upon which
award cannot be made, and the resultant exposure of bidders' prices.
SEC. 1.06 QUESTIONS PRIOR TO DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF BIDS
All questions must be in writing and directed to the procurement officer. The interested party must confirm
telephone conversations in writing. Two types of questions generally arise. One may be answered by directing the
questioner to a specific section of the ITB. These questions may be answered over the telephone. Other questions

size, the bid must be sent in multiple emails that are each less than 20 megabytes and each email must comply
with the requirements described above.
Please note that email transmission is not instantaneous. Like sending a hard copy bid, if you are emailing your

receipt of bids.
It is the bidder's responsibility to contact the issuing agency at 907-269-7602 to confirm that the entire bid has
been received. The state is not responsible for unreadable, corrupt, or missing attachments.

Amendments to or withdrawals of bids will only be allowed if acceptable requests are received prior to the
deadline that is set for receipt of bids, in accordance with 2 AAC 12.140. No amendments or withdrawals will be
accepted after the deadline unless the delay is due to an error of the contracting agency, in accordance with 2
AAC 12.160.
SEC. 1.11 AMENDMENTS TO THE ITB
If an amendment is issued before the deadline for receipt of bids, the amendment will be posted on the State of
Alaska Online Public Notice (OPN) website. The link to the posting of the amendment will be provided to all who

Provided a bid meets the requirements for a definite, firm, unqualified, and unconditional offer, the state reserves
the right to request supplemental information from the bidder, after the bids have been opened, to ensure that
the products or services offered completely meet the ITB requirements. The requirement for such supplemental
information will be at the reasonable discretion of the state and may include the requirement that a bidder will
provide a sample product(s) so that the state can make a first-hand examination and determination.
A bidder's failure to provide this supplemental information or the product sample(s), within the time set by the
state, may cause the state to consider the offer non-responsive and reject the bid.
SEC. 1.16 FIRM, UNQUALIFIED, AND UNCONDITIONAL OFFER
To be responsive a bid must constitute a definite, firm, unqualified and unconditional offer to meet all the material
terms of the ITB. Material terms are those that could affect the price, quantity, quality, or delivery. Also included
as material terms are those which are clearly identified in the ITB, and which must be complied with at risk of bid
rejection for non-responsiveness.
