This procurement was conducted in two segments. The first, Segment A, is the result of a competitive procurement using the Washington State templates under the rules established by RCW 43.19. It is a specialized award tailored to meet the needs of agencies that house citizens. These locations have special security and system requirements. Segment A is only available to Department of Corrections (DOC), Department of Social Health Services (DSHS), Schools and similar public entities outside state government. Segment A was awarded to three Contractors: Simplex Grinnell, Point Monitor Corp. and Fire Protection Specialists.
The state created Segment B (contract # 08008) as a result of a participating addendum, accessing a Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) award for similar work. Segment B is available to all agencies. Each Segment will operate within its own respective terms and conditions, and with its own independent pricing structure. Segment B was awarded to one Contractor.
Data Searched. The Vendor search function will only filter on Vendor Name.
Match words out of order. For example if you search for Computer Equipment it would match a row containing the words Computer and Equipment, regardless of the order or position that they appear in the table.
Partial word matching. As the contract search table provides on-the-fly filtering with immediate feedback to the user, parts of words can be matched in the result set. For example Com will match Computer.
Preserved text. The search function has the ability to search for an exact phrase by enclosing the search text in double quotes. For example "Computer Equipment" will match only text which contains the phrase Computer Equipment. It will not match Computer IT Equipment.
Combine search types. You can also mix and match these search types. For example "Computer Equipment" Technology or "Computer Equipment", Technology will match only text which contains the phrase Computer Equipment and also matches the word Technology. It will not match a record containing only the phrase Computer Equipment or a record matching only the word Technology.
Multi-Column Sorting. You can execute multi-column sorting by holding the SHIFT key while you click the table column headings.
