This is a sample label document for the Pinellas County School District's Invitation to Bid #26-AM-004 for Architectural Hardware. The label is designed to be affixed to packages or boxes containing bid samples and includes fields for the bid number, bid title, sample submission deadline, and the name of the company submitting samples. For bidders submitting samples on behalf of multiple distributors, the label provides space to list all company names. The document includes routing information and a sample box number field for district use only, allowing the purchasing department to organize and track sample submissions during the bid evaluation process.

The sample label is a procedural document that supports the competitive bidding process for approximately 46 line items of architectural hardware supplies, including locks, cylinders, key blanks, door closers, electric strikes, exit devices, padlocks, and associated hardware components. Samples must be submitted by the March 16, 2026 deadline along with sealed electronic bids via the District's OpenGov Procurement portal. The label ensures proper identification and routing of physical samples to the appropriate district location for evaluation, facilitating the District's assessment of product quality and specifications prior to contract award.
