This is a Request for Bids (RFB) issued by the State of California for the procurement of corrugated paper containers and boxes designated as T-SPEC items. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to supply multiple corrugated box configurations in specified quantities to support various state agency operational requirements. While specific item quantities are referenced in the documentation, the complete details regarding exact quantities and box specifications are contained within the RFB materials. Bidders must submit proposals by the March 2, 2026 deadline, with contract awards anticipated following evaluation of all responsive bids that meet the established specifications and requirements. The contract will establish pricing on a per-unit or per-order basis depending on specific box specifications and order volumes, with potential renewal options available to extend the agreement beyond the initial contract term.

Pricing will be determined through competitive bidding based on submitted proposals and the state agency's actual operational needs, with no specific award value or budget range disclosed in the available solicitation materials. The procurement is funded through the procuring state agency's operational budget, with expenditures distributed across multiple fiscal periods based on actual usage and delivery schedules. Vendors must comply with state purchasing standards and demonstrate competitive pricing in their submissions. Set-aside provisions may apply to small businesses, disabled veteran-owned businesses, or other designated vendor categories as defined by California procurement regulations, potentially restricting competition to qualifying disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the available documentation. Interested vendors should review the complete RFB documentation to understand all technical specifications, packaging requirements, delivery obligations, and any additional qualifications or certifications required for bid submission and contract performance.
