Addendum 01 for-52-IFB-1763689381-MLE-Taupe Twill Fabric-Tabor City Sewing Plant-12-8-2025.docx

This is Solicitation Addendum 01 issued by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NCDAC) for Invitation for Bids (IFB) 52-IFB-1763689381-MLE, dated December 8, 2025, and prepared by Purchasing Agent Lorraine Middleton. The addendum addresses the procurement of Taupe Twill Fabric for the Tabor City Sewing Plant and clarifies that all production—including greige goods and dyeing—must be completed in the United States, superseding the original domestic production requirement of at least 10% first-year production housed domestically. The solicitation opening was originally scheduled for December 31, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by returning one properly executed copy prior to the solicitation opening date and time, with failure to do so potentially subjecting responses to rejection. Vendors are required to indicate whether they submitted a prior response with no changes, submitted a prior response that now includes changes resulting from the addendum, or are submitting a new response with the addendum modifications included.

All other terms and conditions from the original solicitation remain unchanged. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to supply Taupe Twill Fabric (65% polyester, 35% cotton, 64-inch width, 2x1 twill weave) on an as-needed basis with an estimated annual quantity of 275,000 yards. Vendors must submit fabric samples of minimum two yards before bid opening, provide current Safety Data Sheets and detailed lab testing reports, and ensure compliance with prevailing wage standards, E-Verify requirements, and the Department's Alcohol/Drug-Free Workplace Policy. The resulting contract term is three years from final execution, with delivery required within thirty calendar days of purchase order receipt to the Tabor City Cut & Sewing facility. Bid pricing must be all-inclusive of transportation and delivery on a Free-On-Board Destination basis and remain firm for 180 days from the contract effective date.
