*EVALUATION IS BASED ON LOWEST PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE CRITERIA*

Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a reputable contractor for the purchase of window treatments and supporting installation at the site. The vendor shall provide all necessary materials and labor to ensure a complete and professional installation.

Given the contract’s requirement for regular onsite presence to quote and measure products, the vendor must maintain a primary business location within 25 miles of the laboratory to ensure timely service. Vendor shall provide a list of 3 current commercial customers to show the ability to handle an account similar in size & scope to Argonne.

This will be awarded as a blanket agreement, wherein there is no guarantee of quantities of services to be purchase, or numbers of purchases to be placed. The pricing is based upon Argonne’s good faith estimate to purchase $80,000.00 worth of supplies or services annually from the Contractor during the agreement period. It is agreed between the parties, however, that Argonne’s good faith estimate neither commits nor obligates Argonne to purchase any services under this agreement.
