33 Minimum Percentage Discount Offered to TIPS Members on all Goods and Services (READ
CAREFULLY)
Please read thoroughly and carefully as an error on your response can render your contract award
unusable.
TIPS Members often turn to TIPS Contracts for ease of use and to receive discounted pricing.
What is the minimum percentage discount that you can offer TIPS Members off of all goods and service
pricing (whether offered through Pricing Form 1, Pricing Form 2, or in another accepted format) that you
offer? Only limited goods/services specifically identified and excluded from this discount in Vendor's
original proposal may be excluded from this discount.
Vendor must respond with a percentage from 0%-100%. The percentage discount that you input below will be
applied to your "Catalog Pricing", as defined in the solicitation, for all TIPS Sales made during the life of the
contract. You cannot alter this percentage discount once the solicitation legally closes. You will always be required
to discount every TIPS Sale by the percentage included below with the exception of limited goods/services
specifically identified and excluded from this discount in Vendor's original proposal. If you add goods or services to
your"Catalog Pricing" during the life of the contract, you will be required to sell those new items with this discount
applied.
Example: In this example, you enter a 10% minimum percentage discount below. In year-one of your TIPS
Contract, your published "Catalog Pricing" (website/store/published pricing) for"Tablet A" is $100 and for"Tablet
Set-Up Service" is $100. In this example, you must sell those items under the TIPS Contract at the proposed 10%
discounted price of: "Tablet A" - $90, "Tablet Set-Up Service" - $90. In year two of your TIPS Contract, you update
your"Catalog Pricing" with the market. You add "Tablet B" to your"Catalog Pricing" for $200 and have increased
the price of"Tablet A" to $110 and the price of"Tablet Set-Up Service" to $110. In this example, after the "Catalog
Pricing" update, you must still sell those items under the TIPS Contract at the proposed 10% discounted price
of: "Tablet A" -$99, "Tablet Set-Up Service"-$99, and "Tablet B" -$180.00.
With the exception of limited goods/services specifically identified and excluded from this discount in Vendor's
original proposal, if you cannot honor the discount on all goods and items now included or which may be added in
the future with certainty, then you should offer a lesser discount percentage below.
What is the minimum percentage discount that you can offer TIPS Members off of all goods and service
pricing (whether offered through Pricing Form 1, Pricing Form 2, or in another accepted format) that you
offer?
-VT6 Vendor corrected typo to 0% on 11.01.2024.
3 Honoring Vendor's Minimum Percentage Discount
Vendor is asked in these Attribute Questions to provide a Minimum Percentage Discount offered to TIPS Members
on all goods and services sold under the TIPS Contract. Points will be assigned for your response and scoring of
your proposal will be affected. A"YES" answer will be awarded the maximum 10 points and a "NO" answer will be
awarded 0 points.
Does Vendor agree to honor the Minimum Percentage Discount off of their TIPS "Catalog Pricing"that Vendor
proposed for all TIPS Sales made for the duration of the TIPS Contract?
Yes, Vendor agrees
3 Volume and Additional Discounts
8 In addition to the Minimum Percentage Discount proposed herein, does Vendor ever expect and intend to offer
additional, greater, or volume discounts to TIPS Members?
Point(s) may be assigned for your response in the category of"Pricing" during scoring and evaluation.

3 "Catalog Pricing" and Pricing Requirements
This is a requirement of the TIPS Contract and is non-negotiable
In this solicitation and resulting contract, "Catalog Pricing" shall be defined as:
"The then available list of goods or services, in the most current listing regardless of date, that takes the form of a
catalog, price list, price schedule, shelf-price or other viewable format that:
A. is regularly maintained by the manufacturer or Vendor of an item; and
B. is either published or otherwise available for review by TIPS or a customer during the purchase process;
C. to which the Minimum Percentage Discount proposed by the proposing Vendor may be applied.
If awarded on this TIPS Contract, for the duration of the contract, Vendor agrees to provide, upon request, their
then current "Catalog Pricing." Or, in limited circumstances where Vendor has proposed the Percentage Mark-Up
method of pricing in this proposal, proof of Vendor's "cost" may be accepted by TIPS in place of catalog pricing.
YES
4 EXCEPTIONS & DEVIATIONS TO TIPS STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0 Vendor agrees that, if awarded, Vendor's final TIPS Contract will consist of the provisions set forth in the finalized
TIPS Vendor Agreement, Vendor's responses to these attribute questions, and: (1) The TIPS solicitation document
resulting in this Agreement; (2) Any addenda or clarifications issued in relation to the TIPS solicitation; (3) All
solicitation information provided to Vendor by TIPS through the TIPS eBid System; (3) Vendor's entire proposal
response to the TIPS solicitation including all accepted required attachments, acknowledged notices and
certifications, accepted negotiated terms, accepted pricing, accepted responses to questions, and accepted written
clarifications of Vendor's proposal, and; any properly included attachments to the TIPS Contract. In the event of
conflict between the terms of the finalized Vendor Agreement and one of the incorporated documents the terms and
conditions which are in the best interest of governmental/qualifying non-profit TIPS Members shall control at TIPS
sole discretion.
If Vendor responds, "No, Vendor does not agree" to this Attribute, after this solicitation legally closes and TIPS
begins evaluating Vendor's file, TIPS will provide Vendor with a draft Word Document version of the Vendor
Agreement and will be instructed to include all requested negotiations as redline edits for TIPS consideration. This
is the only proper way to submit proposed deviations for TIPS consideration. TIPS reserves the right to accept,
decline, or modify Vendor's requested negotiated terms. For this reason, answering "No, Vendor does not agree"
may ultimately delay or prevent award.
Does Vendor agree with TIPS standard terms and conditions as presented in the TIPS solicitation document (RFP,
RCSP, RFQ, or other) and the TIPS Vendor Agreement document?
Yes, Vendor agrees
