RFP OVERVIEW
I. INTRODUCTION
This Request for Proposals (RFP) is being issued by the State of North Carolina (“Lead State”) in collaboration with
the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing program. The purpose of this RFP is to establish one or more
Master Agreements for Small Package Delivery Services with qualified Carriers to provide door-to-door delivery
services, whereby Participating Entities can select services based on their established shipping needs.
Small package delivery refers to shipping individual, smaller parcels that are not palletized and are handled
individually by Contractors. Small package orders are retrieved from the pick-up or drop-off location determined
by the Purchasing Entity and are then sorted, prepared for transit, and delivered.
Less-than-truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) are outside of the scope of this RFP and resulting Master
Agreement(s).
About NASPO ValuePoint
NASPO ValuePoint is a division of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO), a non-profit
association dedicated to advancing public procurement through leadership, excellence, and integrity. In
accordance with NASPO ValuePoint’s Lead State Model™, the Lead State is issuing this RFP, evaluating responses,
and establishing Master Agreements with the support and assistance of a Multistate Sourcing Team™ composed of
individuals from other member states, representing a broad range of perspectives that ensure the RFP
incorporates best practices recognized by public entities across the country.
Participation in NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreements is convenient and cost-effective for eligible entities—
including state departments, institutions, agencies, and political subdivisions, federally recognized tribes, and
other eligible public and nonprofit entities in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories—and
suppliers, with no membership or registration required. In 2024, contractors reported a combined $20.83 billion in
sales through NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreements awarded through cooperative solicitations like this RFP,
including a combined $254.9 million in sales through the current Small Package Delivery Services portfolio.

Sourcing Tool (Sourcing Tool) to submit proposals. The State is not responsible for any delay or failure of
any Offeror to receive any materials updated through the RFP process on a timely basis.
As part of this procurement process, Offerors are informed that awards made for this solicitation, if any,
shall be done through the eVP.

Offerors. Offerors can log in to the Ariba Network to participate in Sourcing Events and collaborate
with the State on contract documents.
2. Proposal Submittal
Offeror shall review all special instructions located in eVP. Offerors are responsible for ensuring
that all necessary files are attached to their offer and uploaded into the Sourcing Tool prior to the
proposal deadline.
Offerors are advised that they should not wait until the last minute to submit their proposal in the
