This is Exhibit A from Connecticut State Contract #26PSX0126, issued by the Department of Administrative Services on behalf of the Department of Correction. The procurement seeks fire-resistant foam inserts for detention-grade mattresses measuring 3 feet by 30 inches in 3-inch and 4-inch thicknesses. Proposals were due August 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT, with a pre-solicitation meeting and site visit option available to vendors who submit a Background Collection Report Form at least 10 business days prior to the scheduled meeting. The solicitation does not specify estimated total contract value, contract term length, or renewal options. Award will be made to the lowest responsible qualified respondent evaluated on quality, conformance with specifications, delivery terms, price, and past performance.

The pricing structure is on an as-needed basis with Free On Board Destination delivery terms, inclusive of all transportation and delivery charges. All proposed rates shall be firm and net. The State of Connecticut is exempt from federal and state excise, transportation, and sales taxes, which must not be included in bid prices. Vendors must specify their own payment terms. All contractor personnel require background clearance and must comply with Department of Correction security regulations, including wearing identification badges at all times. The foam inserts must meet rigorous physical property specifications including minimum density of 5.5 lbs/cubic foot, indentation force deflection standards, and compression set limits, along with comprehensive flammability requirements including 16 CFR 1632 and 1633 standards, California Technical Bulletin 129, and radiant panel testing. Vendors must provide certification of conformance and independent laboratory test results documenting compliance with all specifications.
