03020 Lamps, Ballasts, Retrofit Kits, Replacement Fixtures & Lamp Recycling

The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (Enterprise Services) is conducting a competitive procurement to establish a statewide Master Contract for eligible purchasers to acquire Lamps, Ballasts, Retrofit Kits, and Lamp Recycling. The solicitation covers a variety of commercially available lamp types, including LED, fluorescent, compact fluorescent, metal halide, and high-pressure sodium, as well as ballasts, retrofit kits, and recycling containers. Bidders must meet detailed performance requirements and environmental restrictions, and will be evaluated based on the scored percentage discount off list or published retail prices. The solicitation has a pre-bid conference on November 2, 2020, with bids due by November 24, 2020. Enterprise Services anticipates announcing the apparent successful bidder(s) on December 21, 2020 and awarding the initial 24-month contract, with options to extend up to 72 months total.

The solicitation does not mention any set-asides, but indicates that Enterprise Services will apply procurement preferences for small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and businesses without mandatory individual arbitration clauses. No incumbent contractors are listed, and the historical annual sales volume under similar prior contracts has been approximately $2 million. The solicitation encourages bidders to support diversity in the supplier pool, with voluntary goals for minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business participation, but does not provide any specific funding sources or budget ranges.
