SCHEDULE A BENCHMARK/CATALOG PRICING Benchmark/catalog pricing is a pricing structure that uses verifiable prices as a starting point for establishing the final cost of a product. A benchmark/catalog price can be established in various ways. Listed below are examples of benchmark/catalog pricing. A.

Manufacturer's catalogs/price sheets

B.

Company catalogs/price sheets

C.

Store catalog/price sheet

D.

Shelf pricing

Catalogs and price sheets may be bid different ways. Listed below are several methods of bidding a benchmark/catalog bid. NET PRICING In this method markups or discounts are already calculated into the catalog/price sheet, and the vendor should bid their catalog/price sheet using a discount of net or 0% as the basis for the bid. The price quoted is the final unit price. DISCOUNT PRICING For discount pricing the catalog/price sheet does not include any vendor markups or discounts. In this instance a percentage markup or discount from the catalog/price sheet is bid, and it is the customer's responsibility to calculate the final price for each item purchased. SHELF PRICING If a vendor does not offer, or have access to, a catalog or price sheet, a bid using Shelf Pricing is acceptable by North East ISD. For shelf pricing a vendor can bid a discount from the shelf price or bid the shelf price. If you have any questions regarding this attachment, contact the Procurement & eCommerce department, at 210.407.0403.
