INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1) Bid Forms: Per LA R.S. 39:1556, all written bids, unless otherwise provided for, must

electronic signature by an authorized representative of the bidding entity. Bids
submitted in the following manner will not be accepted: (1) Bid contains no signature

facsimile equipment or email. Price alterations to bid responses received before bid
opening time will be considered provided the written price alteration has been

response form or foreign conditions attached thereto may cause rejection of the bid
response without further consideration.
2) Standard of Quality: Any product or service bid shall conform to all applicable
Federal and State laws and regulations and specifications contained in the
solicitation document. Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation document, any
manufacturer's name, trade name, brand name, or catalog number used in the
specifications is for the purpose of describing the quality level and characteristic
required. Bidder should specify the brand and model number of the product offered in

3) Descriptive Information: Bidders proposing an equivalent brand or model should
submit with the bid response information (such as illustrations, descriptive
literature, technical data) sufficient for the University to evaluate quality,
suitability, and compliance with the specifications of the solicitation document.
Failure to submit descriptive information may cause bid to be rejected. Any change
made to a manufacturer's published specification submitted for a product shall be
verifiable by the manufacturer. If item(s) bid does not comply with specifications
(including brand and/or product number), bidder should state in what respect the
item(s) deviate. Failure to note exceptions on the response form will not relieve
the successful bidder(s) from supplying the actual products requested.

concerning the ultimate contract award will be given at the bid opening or during the
evaluation process. Bids may be examined 72 hours after request is made.

percent (10%) preference in his bid response and the bidder should state the
respective Louisiana location where each qualifying item is produced,

product will be considered for purchase unless otherwise specified in the
solicitation document. The manufacturer's standard warranty will apply

6) Default of Contractor: Failure to deliver within the time specified in the
solicitation document will constitute a default and may cause cancellation of
the contract. Where the University has determined the contractor to be in
default, the state reserves the right to purchase any or all products or
services covered by the contract on the open market and to charge the
contractor with cost in excess of the contract price. Until such assessed

delivered in good condition; (3) misrepresentation by the contractor; (4)
fraud, collusion, conspiracy or other unlawful means of obtaining any
contract with the state; (5) conflict of contract provisions with
constitutional or statutory provisions of state or federal law; (6) any other

governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana.

treatment of any subcontractor or supplier, refused to transact or terminated business

refusal, termination, or commercially limiting actions. The state reserves the right to

into this contract, the Bidder, Proposer or Contractor certifies the following:

association during the term of the contract based solely on the entity's or
association's status as a firearm entity or firearm trade association.
