Calculators

King County Directors' Association (KCDA), a purchasing cooperative representing over one million students and 5,000 ship-to locations across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and Montana, is soliciting bids for calculators under Invitation for Bids No. 26-371, with a total estimated annual contract value of $50,000 to $60,000. Bids must be submitted electronically via PublicPurchase.com no later than 2:00 p.m. PST on July 9, 2026; mailed, faxed, or emailed submissions will not be accepted. The contract is an annual agreement running 365 days from the date of KCDA Board acceptance, with orders potentially placed at any time, though the majority typically occur between April and July. All items must strictly conform to bid specifications and submitted samples, and only new products are acceptable—refurbished, long-stored, or distributor-labeled items will be rejected. Bidders are required to package goods in KCDA-specified units, establish a factory pack unit upon award, and ensure all items are individually wrapped with no bulk shipments permitted. Manufacturer’s original labeling is mandatory unless a letter from the manufacturer confirms custom labeling under KCDA’s discretion. Pricing must be quoted NET, F.O.B. the delivery point, including unloading, with all hazardous material taxes included in the bid price and Washington State sales tax added only at invoice time. Prices must be submitted to two decimal places only, and any manipulation of non-pricing fields will result in disqualification. Bidders must provide signed Attachment A for debarment certification, Attachment B detailing manufacturer terms including minimum order quantities and lead times, and Attachment C acknowledging updated terms and conditions. Discounted pricing from manufacturer list prices is encouraged and must be clearly indicated. KCDA will evaluate bids based on price, specifications, delivery lead time, minimum order quantity, packaging method, and quality management, awarding to the lowest responsible bidder either on a line-item or grouped basis as deemed most efficient. The contract includes strict compliance with federal requirements: bidders must certify compliance with EDGAR (2 CFR 200), Debarment and Suspension, Equal Opportunity (Executive Order 11246), Davis-Bacon Act, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment, Clean Air Act, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act if contract values exceed $150,000.
