About this file

This is a Solicitation Addendum (Addendum 01, dated September 23, 2026) issued by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction for Invitation for Bid (IFB) #52-IFB-2398690264-YJK regarding corrugated cardboard cartons. The addendum clarifies four key questions raised by potential vendors concerning product specifications, sample requirements, and ordering procedures. Specifically, it confirms that authorized resellers may reference the carton manufacturer's customer references; that five sample corrugated cardboard cartons (one for each size specification) must be delivered by October 6, 2026 to the NCDAC Enterprise Janitorial Plant; that "two units per pallet" refers to two bundles per pallet; and that minimum order quantities listed in Section 5.1 represent the required quantity for each carton type per individual purchase order. The solicitation opening date and time remains October 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET, with bids and samples due on the same date and time.

The addendum maintains all other terms and conditions of the original solicitation without modification. No changes are made to pricing structures, contract duration (three-year term commencing February 1, 2027 or upon final execution, whichever is later), estimated annual quantities (221,000 units across five carton specifications), delivery requirements (within 21 calendar days of purchase order receipt), or product specifications (brown kraft C flute construction with 200 PSI bursting strength). Pricing remains firm for 360 days from contract effective date on a per-unit basis, FOB the Janitorial Products Plant in Norlina, North Carolina, with all transportation costs included in the bid price. The previous contract was held by Ferguson Supply and Box MFG Co. at an extended price of $186,070 for 12 months.
