1163 IGWF Gym Equipment

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Department of Corrections for SCI Somerset in Tioga County, is soliciting bids for gym equipment through an electronic-only procurement process. The solicitation requires the acquisition of five specific Matrix gym equipment pieces: a Shoulder Press, Back Extension, Dip/Chin Assist, Functional Trainer, and an 8-Stack Multi-Station. Contractors must submit detailed product identification, descriptive literature, and specification comparisons if proposing alternative equipment. The bid is scheduled to be open from June 11, 2025, with responses due by June 20, 2025. All interested vendors must be registered on the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us) to submit a bid, and they are responsible for monitoring eMarketplace for any changes or notices related to the solicitation. The contract will commence upon full execution and follow standard Commonwealth contracting procedures, with delivery specified as F.O.B. Destination.

The procurement opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must carry appropriate insurance, including Workers' Compensation and Comprehensive General Liability, and comply with Department of Corrections security requirements. Contractors will be required to submit electronic invoices as PDFs to 69180@pa.gov within 10 business days of service completion. The Commonwealth reserves the right to award by individual item or total bid basis, and the bid allows for potential quantity adjustments based on actual Department of Corrections requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, bidders should anticipate that unit pricing must include all associated costs such as labor, materials, equipment, tools, insurance, and delivery fees. The Reciprocal Limitations Act form indicates that preference may be given to in-state vendors or those offering products manufactured within specific states, with preferences ranging from 1% to 15% depending on various factors.
