The file "121834 OR ATTACHMENT B CORE ITEMS SHEET.xlsx" is a detailed product list for the State of Nebraska's Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau solicitation for Light Bulbs, Ballasts, and Retrofit Kits. The procurement is a three-year commodity contract with potential two-year renewal options, covering 84 repetitively purchased lighting products including fluorescent tubes, LED bulbs, metal halide lamps, and electronic ballasts. The solicitation follows a two-phase reverse auction process, with unpriced responses due by May 8, 2025, and an online reverse auction scheduled for May 21, 2025. Delivery requirements span multiple Nebraska Department of Corrections facilities in cities like Lincoln, Omaha, Beatrice, and Grand Island, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 3 to 17,334 units for various product types.

The contract includes a 2.5% transaction fee payable to eBridge and allows for potential preferences for resident disabled veterans and businesses in enterprise zones. Pricing will remain fixed for the initial 180 days, with subsequent increases subject to State Purchasing Bureau approval. The procurement approach permits multiple vendor awards and is not an exclusive arrangement, enabling broader vendor participation. Political subdivisions within Nebraska can also utilize this contract, which emphasizes competitive pricing, product equivalency, and comprehensive coverage of lighting infrastructure needs. Vendors are required to provide percentage discounts off manufacturer's current price lists, and the evaluation criteria will consider factors such as price, location, quality, delivery time, and vendor qualifications.
