About this file

This document is Addendum No. 2 for Invitation for Bid (IFB) 52-IFB-1481394590-MLE, issued by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NCDAC) for Officer Gray Fabric at the Tabor City Sewing Plant. The solicitation seeks approximately 100,000 yards of light gray fabric with updated technical specifications, including a revised composition of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, a finished weight of 4.6 oz, and a cuttable width of 64 inches. The bid opening is scheduled for April 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with vendors required to submit a two-yard fabric sample to the Tabor City Cutting and Sewing Plant. The addendum modifies previous specifications, adjusting construction, fiber content, and performance characteristics, and introduces additional requirements for packing, delivery, and documentation.

The procurement is structured as an agency-specific term contract with no guaranteed minimum or maximum order quantities. Vendors must provide detailed lab test reports, comply with the Flammability Fabrics Act, and submit Safety Data Sheets with initial shipments. Delivery is expected within 30 days of purchase order notification, with domestic orders preferred. The solicitation encourages participation by Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) and requires vendors to demonstrate financial stability and regulatory compliance. While no specific budget range is stated, the scale of the procurement suggests a significant potential contract value. Vendors must carefully review and acknowledge the updated specifications, with failure to meet requirements potentially resulting in bid rejection.
