About this file
This is an amendment to an Invitation to Bid (ITB #32101-13979) issued by the Tennessee Department of General Services for shelving and installation services, effective September 11, 2026. The amendment addresses bidder inquiries regarding product specifications and procurement procedures. The solicitation specifically requires Tennsco brand products as the only acceptable manufacturer for this project, and award will be based on lowest responsive cost.
In response to concerns about competitive access to Tennsco products, the State confirmed that Tennsco maintains an established dealer network in Tennessee with over 100 resellers, with multiple resellers able to obtain Tennsco pricing and submit bids to the State. The State clarified that this solicitation has been approved as a proprietary procurement under applicable Tennessee Central Procurement Office procedures, meaning Tennsco products are the sole acceptable brand. The State declined requests to amend the solicitation to permit equivalent products from other manufacturers, and the procurement remains restricted to Tennsco products only. All other terms and conditions of the original ITB remain in full force and effect unless expressly amended by this document.

# QUESTION / COMMENT STATE RESPONSE
1.
A. We contacted Tennsco directly to obtain dealer/project pricing and were informed that Tennsco has designated an exclusive dealer for this project and will not provide pricing or dealer opportunities to other prospective respondents.
B. Because the solicitation specifically requires Tennsco products and award is based upon lowest responsive cost, please clarify how prospective respondents are expected to obtain competitive Tennsco product pricing when the manufacturer has restricted project pricing to a single dealer.
C. Please also clarify whether this solicitation has been approved as a proprietary or sole-source procurement pursuant to applicable Tennessee CPO procedures, and whether respondents other than Tennsco’s designated dealer are eligible to obtain equivalent manufacturer pricing and authorization to supply the specified products.
A. The State contacted Tennsco and confirmed that Tennsco has an established dealer network in this market with over 100 resellers in Tennessee.
B. Tennsco has confirmed they have multiple resellers that are able to obtain their pricing and can provide bids to the State.
