About this file

This document is an Addendum to an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the North Carolina Department of Administration Purchasing division for the procurement of brooms and brushes for the Central Supply Warehouse, which supplies these items to agencies across the state of North Carolina. The IFB includes specifications for the products, quantities based on historical usage, and bid submission and opening details. The IFB allows for either a single award to one vendor or multiple awards to different vendors. Vendors are requested to offer items that directly comply with the specifications or provide equivalent capabilities.

The previous contract for these items was held by Newell and Sons, Inc., with pricing of $9.10 per Magnolia Brush NS-114-S, $7.37 per Magnolia Brush 3724-SL, and $3.65 per Newell Handle #466. The state received an average of 900 brooms and 900 handles quarterly, and 1500 brushes annually. The state will consider items that do not meet all specifications but reserves the right to evaluate bids for suitability and award the bid that best meets the state's requirements.
