This convenience term contract is designed to meet the quantitative, expeditious and cost
efficient local delivery, parts interchangeability, standardization and compatibility requirements of
about 2,500 State agencies and cooperative purchasing participants for thousands of lawn and
grounds equipment parts and repairs tasks. This RFP will provide multiple contracts for each
OEM or non-OEM group of parts and repairs price line items in each of the three regions - North,
Central and South - to accommodate varying needs of the contract users, thereby increasing the
total contract utilization and, in turn, providing better pricing for future contract reprocurement.
