Pursuant to the State Purchasing Act (O.C.G.A. §§ 50-5-50 et seq.), the University of Georgia (UGA) is issuing this Request for Quotes (RFQ) to establish an agency contract with a qualified supplier for the supply, delivery, and cylinder/dewar float management of Liquid & Gaseous Helium, Liquid & Gaseous Nitrogen, and Industrial Dry Ice Pellets.
Bidders shall provide firm, itemized pricing covering all product categories, purities, container sizes, and pressure ratings specified in the Bid Specification. All quoted pricing must include all applicable product costs, container rental/demurrage fees, and shipping/freight charges FOB Destination to designated UGA campus locations in Athens, GA.
The primary intent of this RFQ is to identify a single source, defined as the lowest-priced, responsive, and responsible supplier, to provide all required goods and/or services. However, UGA reserves the right, when deemed to be in the best interest of the University, to make an additional contract award to the next highest-ranked supplier as a secondary (backup) source of supply in the event the primary supplier is unable to provide the required goods or services in a timely manner. All questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted through the portal's Q&A function.
The supplier will provide liquid and gaseous helium, liquid and gaseous nitrogen, and industrial dry ice pellets across specified product categories, purities, container sizes, and pressure ratings, with delivery FOB Destination to designated UGA campus locations in Athens, GA, including cylinder/dewar float management. Pricing is to be firm and itemized and include product costs, container rental/demurrage fees, and shipping/freight charges, with award intended as a single source to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder, subject to a possible secondary backup award.
