IMPAIRMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
June l, 1851.
CEALED PROPOSALS for furnishing such sta
- tionery as may be required by this Depart
ment during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1862
will be received until IL O'Clock NJ, on Monday,
the lst of July next. Those unaccompanied by
satisfactory testimonials of ability TO fulfil the
contract will not be considered, and contracts
will only be awarded to established manufac-
turers Of, or dealers in, the articles.
All articles required must be of the best quail
ity of their kind, and not inferior to the samples
which will be exhibited at the Department.
Each proposal must be signed by the individ-
ual or firm making it, and must specify but one
price for each and every article OF the schedule
of the class bid for.
The articles, when furnished must correspond
with the samples, or any Of them If desired, and
in no case be inferior in quality to the sample
and they must be delivered without delay when
ordered, and must be satisfactory to the Secre-
tary; and failure SO to comply with this stipula-
tion will be deemed cause for the abrogation of
the contract.
Articles not named in the schedule nre to be
furnished at the option Of the Department, at the
lowest market prices, and the right is reserved of
ordering greater or less quantity Of each article
contracted for, as the public service may require.
Bonds, with approved security, must be given
by the person or firm obtaining the contract and,
in the event Of the refusal or neglect of the con-
tractor to furnish any article or articles named in
the contract on the order of the superintendent
clerk, the same may be purchased in open mar
ket, and the difference in price paid therefor, and
the contract price shall be charged to the con-
tractor, and deducted in the settlement OF his ac-
count for the quarter during which such refusal
or neglect may occur.
The subjoiued schedule specifies, as nearly as
can now be done, the amount, quality, and de-
scripti0n, Of each OF the articles likely to be
quired.
The bids will be canvassed for each of the
three classes separately, and contracts for one or
more of the classes awarded, as may be deemed
most advantageous to the Department.
