Rationale:
|
NYS is now assessing the new Science Learning Standards for students in grades K-8. Part of the assessment requires investigations for students in grades 3-8: four investigations for students in grades 3-5 and four investigations for students in grades 6-8. These investigations are designed for students to experience the curriculum and unpack the standards using experiences that invite students to think like scientists. The required investigations have consumable and non-consumable material needs. These materials will be distributed to schools that have students in grades 3-8. The cost of the materials across both vendors will not exceed $39,998.18. Specifically, $2464.50 for Parco Scientific and $37533.68 for VWR International.
This was bid # RFB-7088, the opening date was on 1/24/2024, 5 bids were received and awarded to the lowest bidders, per group.
