UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Mohegan Sun
Arena, radiating more energy than a
coronal mass ejection, desperately
hoped a performance of Caitlin Clark
3-pointers would dazzle like the North-
ern Lights that appeared in this area
over the weekend.
But for large stretches of Tuesday’s
game, Clark, a perennial record-breaker
in college, struggled off the launch pad
during an up-and-down WNBA debut
that saw the Indiana Fever fall 92-71 to
the Connecticut Sun.
Despite finishing tied with Connecti-
cut’s DeWanna Bonner for a game-high
20 points, Clark (5-for-15 shooting)
missed her first four shots and was
forced to the bench midway through the
first quarter due to foul trouble. She got
her first bucket in the second quarter
and didn’t catch fire until the fourth,
when she drained two consecutive 3-
pointers and got to the line for two free
throws on the following possession.
Despite the shaky performance that
saw her break another record – Clark set
an all-time high for turnovers in a
WNBA debut with 10 – the 22-year-old
sensation was more focused on the big-
ger picture when she spoke to reporters
more than an hour after Indiana’s loss.
“Obviously, I’m disappointed and no-
body likes to lose, but that’s how it is,”
Clark said. “I don’t think you can beat
yourself up too much about one game.
We have to learn from it and move on.”
All eyes were on Clark in Connecticut
for one of the most anticipated profes-
sional debuts by an athlete in recent
memory. ESPN was broadcasting in
prime time. Media accommodations
were at capacity. And you saw a Caitlin
Clark jersey – be it of the Indiana or
Iowa variety – almost anywhere you
looked inside Mohegan Sun Arena,
packed with its first sellout crowd (8,910
announced) since 2003.
“I thought it took me a while to settle
into the game,” said Clark, who also had
three assists. “I thought the second half
was a lot better and it’s just getting more
comfortable, which will come with ex-
perience and getting to play with these
girls.”
Clark insisted she wasn’t nervous be-
fore the game. But she was excited and,
above all, thankful for what Tuesday’s
game represented. How many people
could be tuning in to their first WNBA
game and fall in love with the game?
“The parity in women’s basketball is
what’s making more people want to
come and watch it,” Clark said. “The
more we can spread the love and show
all the talent, we can keep elevating it.
I’ve had a lot of fun being in the spotlight
and helping to grow this game.”
Clark, the No. 1 overall pick, holder of
countless records at the college level
and the catalyst for an explosion of in-
terest surrounding women’s basketball,
spoke at length about gratitude before
and after Tuesday’s loss.
Even going back to Indiana with a de-
feat in tow, Clark said she feels lucky.
“With women’s basketball across the
board being at an all-time high,” Clark
said pregame, “how lucky are we that
we get to come into this moment with
everybody else? You can’t really script it
any better. I just feel very fortunate.
“The more we can share the love, the
better this league is going to be.”
Debut lacked luster but Clark has right attitude

Charlie McAvoy had a goal and an as-
sist to help the Boston Bruins stave off
elimination with a 2-1 win against the
Florida Panthers in Game 5 of an NHL
Eastern Conference semifinal series on
Tuesday night in Sunrise, Florida.
The Panthers still lead the best-of-
seven series 3-2 heading into Game 6 on
Friday in Boston.
Morgan Geekie also scored and Jere-
my Swayman made 28 saves for the
Bruins, who have never overturned a 3-1
series deficit in 25 previous attempts.
“We made really good decisions with
the puck tonight in the first period,
which led to quality scoring chances,”
Boston coach Jim Montgomery said.
“Tonight was our best game of the se-
ries.”
Sam Reinhart scored and Sergei Bo-
brovsky made 26 saves for the Panthers,
who had won three in a row to take com-
mand of the series.
Geekie gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at
4:49 of the first period with his fourth
goal of the playoffs.
Jake DeBrusk retrieved the puck be-
hind the Florida net and passed it to
Geekie driving toward the crease. Bo-
brovsky came off the goal line to attempt
a save, but Geekie pulled the puck to his
backhand and slid it into the net.
“They started well,” Panthers captain
Aleksander Barkov said of the Bruins.
“They came out of the gate really hard
and got going right away. … We still had a
lot of time to play better.”
The Panthers were getting outshot
17-8 when Florida coach Paul Maurice
gave his team a spirited pep talk during
a timeout early in the second period.
“I thought they needed some profan-
ity in their life, and I brought some,”
Maurice said of his comments during
the timeout.
Barkov won the ensuing faceoff,
and the Panthers kept the puck in the
Boston zone before Aaron Ekblad took
a shot from the right point that hit
Reinhart in the slot.
Swayman tried to poke the puck
through the middle, but it went back to
Reinhart, who banked his shot off the
post and into the net to tie it 1-1 at 6:23.
McAvoy moved Boston back ahead
2-1 at 10:25 of the second.
Boston played its second straight
game without team captain Brad Mar-
chand, who was injured late in Game 3
on a hit to the head by the Panthers’
Sam Bennett. Marchand (three goals,
seven assists) is tied with DeBrusk
(five goals, five assists) for the Bruins’
lead in points during the postseason.
Montgomery said postgame that
Marchand is day-to-day.
Maurice added, “There will be 60
cameras at morning skate to see if
Brad Marchand takes a sip of water.”

Calvin Pickard recorded the win in
his first NHL playoff start and Evan
Bouchard scored the tiebreaking goal
with 38.1 seconds remaining in regula-
tion as the host Edmonton Oilers regis-
tered a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver
Canucks on Tuesday to even their
Western Conference semifinal series
at two victories apiece.
Bouchard and Leon Draisaitl each
had a goal and an assist for the Oilers,
who recovered after their two-goal
edge disappeared in the third period.
Edmonton’s Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
also scored.
Pickard, whose previous playoff
time was mop-up duty in Game 3 of
this series in place of No. 1 netminder
Stuart Skinner, made 19 saves.
Only 62 seconds after the Canucks
pulled even and appeared to set up
overtime, Bouchard fired a long point
shot that made it through the crush of
players and into the net for his fourth
goal of the postseason.
Conor Garland and Dakota Joshua
scored for the Canucks, who saw their
road winning streak snapped at four
games. Goalie Arturs Silovs stopped 27
shots.
Game 5 of the best-of-seven series
will be Thursday (10 p.m. EDT, TNT) in
Vancouver. That contest will follow a
game that was an emotional roller
coaster.
Draisaitl’s eighth goal of the play-
offs, and sixth on the power play,
opened the scoring 11:10 into the clash.
Draisaitl unloaded a rocket of a one-
timer from the bottom of the right cir-
cle that Silovs got a piece of but not
enough.
Draisaitl is the first Oilers player to
begin a playoffs on a nine-game point
streak since Mark Messier in 1988.
The Oilers have scored on the power
play in all nine of their playoff games.
Nugent-Hopkins doubled the lead
with 40 seconds remaining in the sec-
ond period. Sprung on a two-on-one
rush by Mattias Ekholm, Nugent-Hop-
kins elected to shoot and buried his at-
tempt inside the far post for his second
goal of the playoffs.
Garland gave the Canucks a much-
needed boost at 6:54 of the third period.
Nikita Zadorov’s point shot was
blocked, but Garland gained the puck
and from the slot found the mark thanks
to a slick ricochet off the leg of Oilers de-
fenseman Darnell Nurse.
The Canucks have been a successful
comeback squad on a few occasions,
and they continued that theme when
Brock Boeser fired a shot from the left
circle that banked into the net off Josh-
ua. The tally was Joshua’s fourth of the
playoffs.
Canucks defenseman Carson Soucy
served a one-game suspension for
cross-checking Edmonton star Connor
McDavid at the end of Game 3. Noah Ju-
ulson took his place in the lineup.

BOSTON – The Boston Celtics deliv-
ered a rude welcome to the Indiana Pac-
ers at the start of the NBA Eastern Con-
ference finals.
The Celtics scored the game’s first 12
points in a raucous environment at TD
Garden, and it was just the kind of mes-
sage they needed to send.
The Pacers, however, shrugged it off.
They are not strangers to unfriendly
arenas, having just beat the New York
Knicks in a Game 7 Sunday at Madison
Square Garden.
Indiana’s relentless offense got it
back in the game, and the Pacers owned
a three-point lead with 46.8 seconds left
in the fourth quarter. The Pacers then
committed turnovers and failed to pro-
tect the lead. It was a chaotic finish,
punctuated by their missed chances
and Celtics star Jayson Tatum’s offense.
Boston’s Jaylen Brown made a tough
corner 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds left to
force overtime, and the Celtics out-
scored the Pacers in the five minutes of
OT for a 133-128 victory in Game. 1.
Tatum followed a 3-point play with a
3-pointer from the top of the arc, giving
Boston a 127-123 lead with 42.9 seconds
to go, and it was enough cushion to es-
cape with a victory.
Tatum scored a game-high 36 points
and had 12 rebounds and three steals.
He scored 10 points in OT and was one of
three Celtics players with at least 26
points, seven rebounds and three steals.
Brown had 26 points, six rebounds, five
assists and three steals; Jrue Holiday
produced 28 points, eight assists, seven
rebounds and three steals.
Game 2 is Thursday in Boston (8 p.m.
EDT, ESPN).
Offense on display
The Celtics had the No. 1 offense and
the Pacers the No. 2 offense during the
regular season. The scoring prowess
was apparent. Both teams hovered at
the 50% mark from the field with Boston
at 47.5% and Indiana at 53.5%, and sev-
en Pacers scored in double figures led by
Tyrese Haliburton’s 25 points and 10 as-
sists. Pascal Siakam had 24 points, 12
rebounds and seven assists and Myles
Turner added 23 points and 10 rebounds
for the Pacers.
While Boston had the league’s No. 2
defense, Indiana’s plan is to apply as
much pressure as possible with its pace.
Among the difference-makers Tuesday:
Indiana’s turnovers. The Pacers com-
mitted 22, leading to 32 Celtics points.
Horford continues to fill in
Veteran big man Al Horford, who is in
the starting lineup for injured Kristaps
Porzingis, had 15 points and six re-
bounds. He doesn’t replace what Porz-
ingis does but his experience helps min-
imize his absence. He is targeting a pos-
sible Game 4 return, ESPN reported.
Free-throw discrepancy
The Celtics shot 30 free throws, mak-
ing 24, and the Pacers were 9-for-10
from the foul line with seven of those at-
tempts coming in overtime. That’s in
part a byproduct of how both teams
play. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle com-
plained about the officiating during the
semifinal series against the Knicks, and
the NBA fined him $35,000.

DAVID BUTLER II/USA TODAY SPORTS
BOSTON – Year after year, NBA exec-
utives vote Rick Carlisle one of the
league’s best in-game coaches.
The Indiana Pacers coach admitted
late Tuesday he didn’t have his finest
moment in the final seconds of regula-
tion in the Boston Celtics’ 133-128 over-
time victory against the Pacers in Game
1 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals.
“This loss is totally on me,” he said.
The Pacers had a 117-114 lead and pos-
session of the basketball but turned the
ball over on the inbound pass, leading to
Celtics guard Jaylen Brown’s overtime-
forcing corner 3-pointer with 6.1 sec-
onds left in the fourth quarter.
“With 10 seconds (left) in regulation,
we should’ve just taken the timeout, ad-
vanced the ball, and found a way to get it
in and made a free throw or two and
ended the game,” Carlisle said.
Unlike many Pacers players who are
playing in the conference finals for the
first time, Carlisle is a championship
coach with decades of experience.
He wasn’t the only one making mis-
takes in a game the Pacers will look back
on as one it should have won. Indiana
committed 22 turnovers that led to 32
points. Beside the aforementioned late-
game turnover, Pacers All-Star point
guard Tyrese Haliburton lost the bas-
ketball out of bounds with 27.7 seconds
left in the fourth quarter with the Pacers
ahead by three points, and Haliburton
had another one in overtime, leading to
a Jayson Tatum 3-pointer that put the
Celtics up 127-123.
“We made mistakes, so that’s an area
we need to clean up,” Carlisle said.
Even Brown’s 3-pointer that sent the
game to overtime is under scrutiny. Up
three, why not foul to prevent a tying 3?
That was the instruction. H owever,
Brown caught the ball in the corner
ready to shoot, and Pacers forward Pas-
cal Siakam didn’t want to risk fouling
Brown and giving him the chance at
three free throws or a four-point play.
“He caught the ball and was face up,
and Pascal decided to lay off, which I un-
derstand was probably the right deci-
sion,” Carlisle said.
Said Siakam: “ As soon as I got to him
– I was a little late because of the screen
– he was going up so I didn’t do it (foul). I
was a little too late. If you have an op-
portunity to do it, you do it. I felt like he
was going into his (shooting) motion. It
was a tough shot. Maybe I could’ve con-
tested it better. It was just a tough play.”
The image of Siakam with his hands
behind his back and Brown launching a
3 in front of the Pacers bench will haunt
Indiana.
The Pacers played well enough to
win. They shot better from the field
(53.5%-47.5%) and 3-point range
(37.1%-33.3%), outrebounded Boston
and had more assists and Indiana’s
bench outscored Boston’s 30-13.
But those turnovers and refusal to
call a timeout cost Indiana. Those plays
not only sway a game, they have the po-
tential to sway a series. The sixth seed
can’t waste many opportunities against
the one seed.
“We’ve been a tough-minded, resil-
ient team the second half of the year,”
Carlisle said, “and we’ve got to continue
that.”
Carlisle: Meltdown
in Game 1 ‘on me’
Jeff Zillgitt

“A lot of things had to go wrong for us
and right for them. They did,” Pacers
coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday.

The Florida Panthers and Dallas
Stars have earned a return trip to the
conference finals. The New York Rang-
ers and Edmonton Oilers are back after
a one-year absence.
Of that group, only the Panthers
made it to the Stanley Cup Final the past
two postseasons, but now two teams
will get a shot.
The Rangers-Panthers Eastern Con-
ference final series opened Wednesday
in New York. The Stars-Oilers Western
Conference final opens in Dallas on
Thursday (8:30 p.m. EDT, TNT, truTV)
USA TODAY Sports’ Mike Brehm and
Jace Evans make their predictions for
who advances out of the Eastern and
Western Conference finals:
Eastern Conference:
New York Rangers
vs. Florida Panthers
Mike Brehm: Rangers in 7. The
Rangers were rolling through the play-
offs before the Hurricanes picked up
two wins. But when it looked like the se-
ries might go to seven games, Chris
Kreider came through with a third-peri-
od hat trick. The Rangers have the depth
to match up with the Panthers, and their
special teams can help make up for their
deficiencies at five-on-five play. They’ll
have to shore up that part of their game,
though.
Jace Evans: Panthers in 6. This se-
ries feels like a coin flip – and given
some of the characters involved, it has
the potential to be nasty. New York’s 7-0
playoff start, which matched the 1994
Stanley Cup-winning team’s, definitely
produced some “team of destiny” vibes.
More pertinent to this series, though,
the Rangers have a sizzling power play,
strong penalty kill and the best goalie
left in the playoffs. But I think the Pan-
thers’ superior five-on-five play will be
the difference-maker in this series.
Western Conference:
Dallas Stars vs. Edmonton Oilers
Mike Brehm: Stars in 6. I originally
picked the Stars to reach the Stanley
Cup Final then mistakenly picked
against them in the last round because I
didn’t think they’d be able to stop the
Colorado Avalanche. They did and I
think they can do the same to the high-
flying Oilers. They play a strong defen-
sive game, which helps them thrive on
the road. They just need to be better on
the penalty kill.
Jace Evans: Oilers in 7.I have no real
reason to pick Edmonton. The Stars’
goaltending is significantly better. Their
defense is better. Their forward depth is
better. So why am I picking the Oilers?
Because the Oilers have Connor McDa-
vid and Leon Draisaitl, two of the best
players of their generation in their
prime. Draisaitl has arguably become
the top big-game performer in the NHL.
He had 32 points in 16 playoff games in
2022, tied for the league lead in playoff
goals last season (13) despite playing
just 12 games in two rounds and this
year has 24 points in 12 games. The
scary thing is I think McDavid could
take his game up a level – he has 21
points in 12 games but just two goals
while shooting 6.3%.

I. ABOUT SOURCEWELL
A. SOURCEWELL
Sourcewell is a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative created under the laws of the State of Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes Section 123A.21) that facilitates a competitive public solicitation and contract award process for the benefit of its 50,000+ participating entities across the United States and Canada. Sourcewell’s solicitation process complies with State of Minnesota law and policies, conforms to Canadian trade agreements (including Canadian Free Trade Agreement, Ontario‐Quebec Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and Canada‐European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, as applicable), and results in cooperative purchasing solutions from which Sourcewell’s Participating Entities procure equipment, products, and services.
Cooperative purchasing provides participating entities and suppliers increased administrative efficiencies and the power of combined purchasing volume that result in overall cost savings.

Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #070924
Office Supply and Workplace Catalog Solutions
[NOTE: INSERT SCOPE REFINEMENT HERE. This section will change depending upon RFP]
1. Sourcewell is seeking proposals for Office Supply and Workplace Catalog Solutions that must include a complete electronic catalog system permitting Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members to make web‐based purchases and receive delivery of:
a. Comprehensive office and
workplace supplies and equipment solutions;
b. Breakroom and food supplies;
c. School, classroom, and art supplies;
d. Warehouse and materials handling supplies;
e. First aid and safety supplies;
f. Promotional and print products and supplies;
g. Technology‐related supplies, equipment, and accessories; and
h. Customer support or assessment services related to the purchase of the supplies or products described in subparts a. – g. above.
2. Proposers may also include furniture, seating, and storage equipment solutions complementary to the office and workplace supplies described in Sections 1. a. – f. above.
The catalog must be designed to populate with the Sourcewell and Sourcewell Member pricing offered by Proposer. To the extent that Proposer includes sales through retail store locations, the system must be capable of providing Sourcewell and Sourcewell Member pricing for purchases at Proposer’s retail store locations.
Proposers may include related equipment, accessories, and services to the extent that these solutions are ancillary or complementary to the equipment, products, or services being proposed.
3. The primary focus of this solicitation is the offering of a web‐based office supply and workplace catalog, but alternate forms of transaction (e.g., PO and invoice transactions) are a permissible ancillary service method.
Generally, the solutions for Participating Entities are turn‐key solutions, providing a combination of equipment, products and services, delivery, and installation to a properly operating status. However, equipment‐only or products‐only solutions may be appropriate for situations where
Participating Entities possess the ability, either in‐house or through local third‐
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #070924
Office Supply and Workplace Catalog Solutions
party contractors, to properly install and bring to operation the equipment or products being proposed.
Sourcewell prefers suppliers that provide a sole source of responsibility for the equipment, products, and services provided under a resulting contract. If proposer is including the equipment, products, and services of its subsidiary entities, the proposer must also identify all
included subsidiaries in its proposal. If proposer requires the use of distributors, dealers, resellers, or subcontractors to provide the equipment, products, or services, the proposal must address how the equipment, products or services will be provided to Participating Entities, and describe the network of distributors, dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.
Sourcewell encourages suppliers to offer the broadest possible selection of equipment, products, and services being proposed over the largest possible geographic area and to the largest possible cross‐section of Sourcewell current and future Participating Entities.
C. REQUIREMENTS
It is expected that proposers have knowledge of all applicable industry standards, laws, and regulations and possess an ability to market and distribute the equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities.
1. Safety Requirements. All items proposed must comply with current applicable safety or regulatory standards or codes.
2. Deviation from Industry Standard. Deviations from industry standards must be identified with an explanation of how the equipment, products, and services will provide equivalent function, coverage, performance, and/or related services.
3. New Equipment and Products. Proposed equipment and products must be for new, current model; however, proposer may offer certain close‐out equipment or products if it is specifically noted in the Pricing proposal.
4. Delivered and operational. Unless clearly noted in the proposal, equipment and products must be delivered to the Participating Entity as operational.
5. Warranty. All equipment, products, supplies, and services must be covered by a warranty that is the industry standard or better.
D. PROSPECTIVE CONTRACT TERM
The term of any resulting contract(s) awarded by Sourcewell under this solicitation will be four years. Sourcewell and supplier may agree to up to three additional one‐year extensions based on the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities. Sourcewell retains the right to consider additional extensions beyond seven years as required under exceptional circumstances.
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #070924
Office Supply and Workplace Catalog Solutions
E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE
Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD 500 Million; therefore, proposers are expected to propose volume pricing. Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity under the contract(s) awarded from this RFP; however, sales and sales volume from any resulting contract are not guaranteed.
F. MARKETING PLAN
Proposer’s sales force will be the primary source of communication with Participating Entities.
The proposer’s Marketing Plan should demonstrate proposer’s ability to deploy a sales force or dealer network to Participating Entities, as well as proposer’s sales and service capabilities. It is expected that proposer will promote and market any contract award.
G. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Contracts will be awarded to proposers able to best meet the need of Participating Entities. Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP.
2. A proposer may submit only one proposal. If related, affiliated, or subsidiary entities elect to submit separate proposals, rather than a single parent‐entity proposal, each such proposal must be prepared independently and without cooperation, collaboration, or collusion.
3. If a proposer works with a consultant on its proposal, the consultant (an individual or company) may not assist any other entity with a proposal for this solicitation.
4. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer, including samples of the proposed equipment or products.
5. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be based on a subcategory.
6. A proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be considered in the evaluation of a proposal.
III. PRICING
A. REQUIREMENTS
All proposed pricing must be:
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #070924
Office Supply and Workplace Catalog Solutions
1. Either Line‐Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of these:
a. Line‐item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must indicate the proposer’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.” b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the products or services. Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any contract resulting from this RFP.
2. The proposer’s not to exceed price. A not to exceed price is the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity. However, it is permissible for suppliers to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.
3. Stated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (as applicable).
4. Clearly understandable, complete, and fully describe the total cost of acquisition (e.g., the cost of the proposed equipment, products, and services delivered and operational for its intended purpose in the Participating Entity’s location).
Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the proposer. Additionally, proposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in the proposal.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Proposers awarded a contract are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entities for all contracted equipment, products, or services made during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two percent (2%). In some categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative.
IV. CONTRACT
Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see attached template). Only those modifications the proposer indicates in its proposal will be available
for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict Minnesota law may result in the proposal being disqualified from further review and evaluation.
To identify any exception, or to request any modification, to Sourcewell’s standard Contract terms,
conditions, or specifications, a proposer must submit the proposed exception(s) or
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #070924
Office Supply and Workplace Catalog Solutions
requested modification(s) via redline in the Contract Template provided in the “Documents” section of the “Bid Details” page on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal and uploaded as part of its response. Only those exceptions noted at the time of the proposal submission will be considered.
Exceptions must:
1. Clearly identify the affected article and section.
2. Clearly note the requested modification; and as applicable, provide requested alternative language.
Unclear requests will be automatically denied.
Only those exceptions that have been accepted by Sourcewell will be included in the contract document provided to the awarded supplier for signature.
If a proposer receives a
contract award resulting from this solicitation it will have up to 30 days to sign and return the contract. After that time, at Sourcewell’s sole discretion, the contract award may be revoked.
