This is a Bid Summary and Award document issued by the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement Support Services, for the procurement of one electric food cutter for the New Hampshire Department of Corrections facility in Concord, NH. The solicitation requested bids for a single unit of equipment with no renewal options, with a bid closing date of May 26, 2026, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time. The successful vendor was required to deliver the food cutter within 30 days of purchase order issuance and provide comprehensive warranty coverage for a minimum of one year or the manufacturer's standard period, whichever is greater. Four vendors submitted bids; however, three were marked non-compliant because the quoted items did not meet the agency's specifications or functional requirements. The award was made to Singer Equipment, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, at a unit cost of $8,989.79.

Pricing terms required all bids to be submitted on an F.O.B. Destination basis with all delivery costs included and no additional surcharges, fuel charges, or credit card transaction fees permitted. Payment was structured with no payment due until 30 days after invoice receipt or delivery and acceptance of all items, whichever occurred later. The solicitation contained no set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise designations, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified. The bid documentation confirmed that the awarded vendor, Singer Equipment, is not debarred or suspended according to Sam.gov records, and payment would be accepted via ACH or P-card. A D&B report was confirmed to be on file, and 139 NIGP vendors were sourced for the solicitation.
