This document is Bid Amendment #8 issued by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, for Bid Solicitation #25DPP01074 concerning bar soap procurement. The solicitation seeks individually wrapped or boxed facial and body bar soap for New Jersey Distribution and Support Services, with specifications requiring soap weighing between 2.75 and 3.75 ounces per bar, packaged in cases of 72 or 144 count. The amendment specifically changes the quote opening date from April 15, 2025, to May 1, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and reflects revisions to the original bid solicitation. The contract is for an estimated 28,800 cases over a three-year term, with a minimum order quantity of 1,200 cases per shipment and delivery required within 30 calendar days of order receipt.

The procurement is a re-solicitation of a previous contract (Contract 19-FOOD-00961), which previously had pricing of $51.97 per case for 144-count cases. The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors, with no specific small business or disabled veteran-owned business set-aside. Approved products include Dalan Family Soap - Pearl in Ocean, Dalan Multi-Care Micellar Water & Fresh Cucumber, and Freshscent SKU #S3, with equivalents meeting specifications also acceptable. Bidders must submit firm, fixed pricing per ounce and complete various standard procurement documents, including an Offer and Acceptance Page, Ownership Disclosure Form, and Disclosure of Investment Activities in Iran Form. The State reserves the right to award any or all price lines and to review confidentiality or proprietary claims, with the contract potentially extending for up to three additional years, with no single extension exceeding one year.
