AI Summary
Colorado Department of Corrections seeks an annual subscription for legal publications and research materials to support legal services statewide. The solicitation is an Invitation for Bid with electronic submission due April 14, 2026.
The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) on behalf of the Legal Services Unit provides legal documentation and conducts regular legal research to support the Department and the many functions, operations, and implementation of court orders regularly. It must also meet its obligations to provide offenders with a law library to access legal materials. Due to the numerous websites, directories, encyclopedias, and court publications, it is necessary to obtain an annual subscription to be shared across the state by CDOC users. **Solicitation Type**: IFB - Invitation for Bid (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.2502398.C14934951 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 04/07/2026 04:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Additional Bidding Instructions**: If you have questions when responding, please contact bidnet direct vendor support at 800-835-4603 option 2. **Solicitation Number**: IFB 2026000159 **Reference Number**: 0000418199 **Pricing**: Lump sum **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Administrative Paperwork | Please scan Exhibit B, W9, Insurance and Disclosure Statements as one document | Yes | No | | Price Proposal | Exhibit D - Price Proposal or Quote Document | Yes | No | **Questions and Answers**: - Q1 Arrow Right Question: Pricing Format IFB Scope of Work Section 3(A)(vi)(a) on page 8 says, “CDOC prefers an itemized menu of pricing to accept or decline specified accesses as it deems necessary. A set fixed unit pricing structure and/or package is preferred to estimate costs and predict budgetary needs.” Similarly, Exhibit D requests a separate unit price for each of the 21 content sources. However, our company is unable to provide itemized pricing for singular titles. Instead, we offer an all-inclusive content package based on our client’s needs, and we provide a flat-rate monthly/annual price with unlimited searching of titles within the subscription. Pursuant to our inability to comply with CDOC’s requested pricing format, we envision completing Exhibit D as follows: including the phrase “Not Priced Separately” in rows 1 to 21, adding the annual price for all content in row 28 Column D, and explaining further in row 29 that items cannot be priced separately. Please confirm if this approach is acceptable to the CDOC for Offerors who are unable to provide separate pricing for singular titles.

Section 4(C)(iii) on pages 9 to 10 says further that CDOC may consider an annual price increase of 2.5%. May we include in Exhibit D, row 29, an explanation that pricing in row 28 is for year 1 only, along with our separate annual pricing for years 2 through 5?
