Is this only for the market basket “School Supplies” which is scissors, markers and binders, etc. or would it include the scope of products my company provides? The Category Discount Schedule Bid Form C has an “Other” line that you may use to list your categories that may be taken into consideration. This Bid Form also has these categories and others that you may bid open if you feel they are a good fit for your business model:
 

• Classroom Resources

  K-12 instructional/Supplemental Materials
  Testing Supplies and Materials
   
  When analyzing the Classroom Supply Bid we will take everything into consideration including the Category Discount form, Market Basket Form and other requests as outlined in the bid specifications.

3.) Would we need to fill out form B (completely or partially) in order to be considered? You may fill out all of the items you can provide to our members and leave the other lines blank.

2.) If we do not want to bid on anything on Form B – since that’s not in our wheelhouse – can we still participate in the bid? You must submit Bid Proposal Form B with your bid.

• Emergencies consistent with N.J.S.A. 18A:18A-7;
