About this file
This document is a Non-Mandatory Addendum #1 for Solicitation Number 54-RJR-2240032 issued by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), specifically for the Ferry Division's Marine Repair Parts and Accessories Invitation for Bid (IFB). The addendum contains a detailed question and answer session addressing vendor inquiries about the solicitation, with the bid opening scheduled for May 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET. The IFB is intended to establish a convenience contract for marine repair parts and accessories, with vendors required to provide published Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) lists and corresponding percentage discounts for various product categories.
Key clarifications in the addendum include that the solicitation is exclusively for the NCDOT Ferry Division, vendors may provide one or more manufacturers per category, and comparable products from different manufacturers are acceptable. The state emphasizes that while specific part numbers are not requested, vendors must submit MSRP lists for categories like electrical systems, safety items, and marine components. Manufacturers are advised that their names are used for identification purposes only, and the state intends to have multiple manufacturers represented in each product category. The contract will be a convenience contract with the potential for additional procurements as needed, focusing on marine repair parts and accessories across 17 distinct product categories.
