About this file

This is a Solicitation Addendum issued by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction for Solicitation 52-IFB-2284377548-SME, which concerns the procurement of Rectangular White A-Frame Plastic Free-Standing Sign Boards. The solicitation opening date and time is August 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. The addendum modifies Section 4.9 regarding the samples and sample evaluation process. Vendors submitting a functional equivalent of the specified make and model are required to submit one sample by the August 6, 2026, deadline at 2:00 PM ET to the address specified in Section 4.9 of the bid; however, vendors offering the Plasticade/Signicade 140-W are exempt from submitting a sample. The sample evaluation panel will consist of the Nash Print Plant Manager or designee, Nash Plant Operational Staff, NC Correction Enterprise Sales, and a Correction Enterprise Customer Representative. Samples will be evaluated for conformance with all product specifications as identified in Section 5.1, and any failure to meet specifications will result in bid rejection.

The addendum clarifies that evaluation criteria previously focused on specific physical characteristics—including size, color, weight, window placement, window construction, material, flap seal length, throat length, gum line, and security tint—along with compatibility testing using a Pitney Bowes FPS SD 9 Inserter equipment. The revised evaluation process consolidates these requirements under conformance with all product specifications. The addendum was issued on July 29, 2026, by Purchasing Agent Margaret Serapin. Bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum by checking one of the provided options and returning an executed copy prior to the solicitation opening date. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.
