Evaluation and award will be based on the highest commission offered to the County, calculated by multiplying the total of designated product sampling items by the vendor’s proposed commission percentage, with the County reserving the right to award in its best interest regardless of commission amount. The contract term begins upon award or after the current contract expires, and may be renewed for up to four additional one-year periods at the County’s discretion, with the vendor’s consent. The vendor is obligated to adhere to stringent compliance standards including Texas statutes that prohibit business with Iran or Sudan, forbid discrimination against firearm entities, and prohibit energy company boycotts for contracts over $100,000 with ten or more employees. All services must ensure a drug-free workplace, conform to the highest standards of manufacturing and engineering, and comply with ADA requirements.
