The document contains the terms and conditions for a bid or procurement process conducted by the Department of Correction. The document specifies that any questions regarding the document should be addressed to the purchaser named on the cover sheet and not to the user directly. It also states that any revisions to the document can only be made through written addendum and verbal communications have no effect. The document mentions that the Department of Correction reserves the right to reject any bids, waive any informality in bids, and accept any item in the bid. It also states that if there is an obvious error in a unit price or extended price, the incorrect price will be disregarded. The Department of Correction may require a list of users of the item offered and may contact them to determine the acceptability of the bid. The document also mentions that taxes, such as federal taxes, are exempt for agencies participating in the contract, but personal property taxes and sales or use tax may be required by the North Carolina Department of Revenue. The award of the contract will be based on factors such as prices offered, quality of the articles, reputation and performance capabilities of the bidders, conformity with specifications, suitability for intended use, delivery and performance dates, and other pertinent factors determined by the Department of Correction. The Department of Correction reserves the right to accept any item or group of items on a multi-item bid and to make partial, progressive, or multiple awards on term contracts. The document encourages participation in the procurement process by businesses owned by minorities, women, disabled individuals, and non-profit work centers for the blind and severely disabled. Confidential information can be kept confidential upon request, but cost information is not deemed confidential. Samples may be required and must be provided free of expense. If not destroyed, samples will be returned upon request within 10 days following the bid opening. Protest procedures are outlined for bidders who want to protest a contract award. The document also includes miscellaneous terms and conditions, such as the inclusion of feminine pronouns and the reciprocal preference law to discourage other states from applying in-state preferences against North Carolina's resident bidders. Additionally, the document mentions that the Department of Correction has the right to cancel the contract and that any payments to the contractor are dependent upon the availability of funds.
