32901-13993_Amendment_1.pdf

This is Amendment #1 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Tennessee Department of Correction for cosmetology and barber supplies. The amendment, effective upon release on September 17, 2026, clarifies specifications and product requirements for the comprehensive procurement covering hair care products, styling tools, disinfectants, personal protective equipment, and related supplies for TDOC cosmetology and barber training programs. The key specification clarification addresses line item #7 (Marvicide disinfectant), which the state specifies must be supplied as liquid disinfectant concentrate in gallon size (128 ounces) rather than other available formats. The amendment replaces the original Cosmetology and Barber Supply Specifications document in its entirety with Specifications v2, with all revisions and new text highlighted for vendor review. The contract establishes a 36-month initial term with two optional one-year renewal periods, with all deliveries required by September 27, 2026, to TDOC-CENTRAL OFFICE at 320 Sixth Avenue N, Rachel Jackson Building, Nashville, Tennessee 37243 on an F.O.B. destination basis.

All terms and conditions of the original ITB #32901-13993 not expressly amended by this document remain in full force and effect. Bidders are required to submit unit pricing and total cost proposals for all line items, with awards based on price competitiveness, product quality, vendor capability, and service delivery terms. The solicitation does not specify set-aside categories, incumbent information, or detailed funding sources within the amendment document itself. Contract terms and conditions include standard provisions for indemnification, confidentiality, insurance requirements, compliance obligations, and dispute resolution, with funding derived from state operational budgets allocated to education and training programs and payment governed by standard Tennessee state procurement procedures.
