T0374 Bid Amendment 9 4.10.2025 Final.docx

This document is a Bid Amendment from the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, specifically Bid Amendment #9 for Bid Solicitation #25DPP01074, which pertains to bar soap procurement for the Department of Treasury Distribution and Support Services (DSS). The amendment formally cancels the previously scheduled quote submission date of May 1, 2025, effectively halting the current procurement process for this solicitation. The original solicitation sought individually wrapped or boxed facial and body bar soap, with specifications requiring bars weighing between 2.75 and 3.75 ounces, packaged in 72 or 144-count cases, with an estimated total order quantity of 28,800 cases over a three-year contract term.

The procurement was a re-solicitation of a previous contract (Contract 19-FOOD-00961), which had historical pricing of $51.97 per 144-count case. The bid was open to all qualified vendors, with no specific small business or disabled veteran-owned business set-aside provisions. Approved products included Dalan Family Soap - Pearl in Ocean, Dalan Multi-Care Micellar Water & Fresh Cucumber, and Freshscent SKU #S3, with allowances for equivalent products meeting specified requirements. Bidders were required to submit firm, fixed pricing per ounce, with a minimum order quantity of 1,200 cases per shipment and a 30-calendar-day delivery requirement. The contract included potential extension options of up to three additional years, with no single extension exceeding one year. While no specific award value was detailed, the state reserved the right to award any or all price line items and review any confidentiality or proprietary claims made by bidders.
