These quotations need not be detailed. A general description of the item and the unit price usually are enough. Freight charges or other data need to be listed only when specifically requested. Specifications are distributed and sealed bids are required. Bids are opened at formal bid openings, normally held on Wednesdays of each week.
Bidders are welcome to attend.
On small orders, we may refer to Standard Specification numbers. In formal sealed bids, specifications are detailed in full. All orders, as delivered, must meet the specifications. When the method of delivery is not specified, the least expensive delivery method should be used unless the nature of the shipment calls for special service. Delivery dates are specified on every purchase order.
