Aromatic Government Bids & RFPs

The electronic bid submittal deadline is Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 1:00 PM CST. Deliveries are to be made within ten operating days of request.

Invoices will be paid based upon receipt of material or properly executed invoice, whichever is later. Payment will be made on the basis of unit price as listed in the blanket order. Terms are understood as net 30 days.

Awards will be made to the responsible vendors whose proposals are determined after evaluation by NOLA Public Schools to be the best value to NOLA Public Schools. The bid will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder that meets or exceeds the specifications/scope of work.

To qualify for evaluation, a proposal must have been submitted sealed and on time and must materially satisfy all mandatory requirements identified in this document. A responsible vendor is a vendor who has adequate financial resources or the ability to obtain such resources, can comply with the delivery requirements, and is a qualified and established firm regularly engaged in the type of business that provides the items listed herein.

If the bidder fails to meet the requirements or to deliver articles within the time specified, the board reserves the right to obtain the articles from any other person or firm at such price as may be charged without competitive bids. The difference between the price paid and the contract price shall be deducted from the following or any subsequent payment to the contractor.

When called for, samples shall be submitted with the bid per instructions set forth in the special terms and conditions if applicable. Additional samples needed for a bid to be evaluated properly shall be delivered within 5 business days from the time the proposer is notified by the purchasing department. Sample items from the successful proposer may be retained for the purpose of determining that the quality and workmanship of the delivered items are comparable to the sample.

If any proposer who submitted a proposal has an objection to the award of the contract to the selected proposer, the objecting proposer shall furnish that protest, in writing, to the executive director of procurement or designee within ten 10 business days of the notification of nonaward.

Proposers who violate the code of silence may be deemed nonresponsive, and their proposal may be rejected for cause. Failure to comply with debarment and suspension certification requirements will cause your bid to be disqualified and declared nonresponsive. Failure to acknowledge all addenda will result in the proposal being rejected.
