Questions and answers
Do lock boxes need to be individually packaged, or can they be bulk-packaged?
Lock boxes may be packaged individually or packaged in bulk.
Does the product have to be a medication lock box or a medication lock bag?
Grays Harbor County is accepting applications for all types of products that serve the purpose of locking medications securely.
What type of lock is needed for the product you are looking for?
Lockable products by way of a combination lock, key, or padlock are acceptable.
Approximately how many boxes do you expect to buy?
Grays Harbor County will purchase boxes based on the size, type, and cost of each product. This will be determined by the product proposed through the RFP and the cost to each product to not exceed $40,000 for the contract period.
Would you want the quantity to be delivered in one release, or do you expect to make multiple smaller orders over the course of a year?
Funding priorities for the coalitions are subject to change. However, we will likely have a large purchase at the beginning of the contract in addition to multiple small orders over the course of the contract. Our coalitions would like to resupply as soon as possible.
Do you intend to select and order just one size, or do you foresee ordering a variety of sizes?
The size choices of the medication lock boxes will depend on what is proposed by the applicant, product availability, and by price breakdown. Our coalitions have purchased a variety of sizes of lock boxes in the past.
Must each box be keyed differently/uniquely, or can all boxes be keyed alike (meaning that the same key would open any box)?
Our coalitions will not have the capacity to track key codes, keys, or other locking methods for the recipient of the medication lock boxes. The recipient of the product will be in charge of either setting their own key code or maintaining possession of their key or other device method.
