3/c cable

Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) is requesting quotations for 20,000 linear feet of 3-conductor aluminum parallel cable rated at 600 volts, with responses due August 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time and delivery required by September 15, 2026. This procurement is restricted to certified Locally Owned Small Businesses (LSBs) located in Shelby County, Tennessee—a sheltered market set-aside that limits awards to qualifying enterprises.

The cable must feature cross-linked polyethylene insulation and #4 stranded phase and neutral conductors, supplied in 1-inch coilable polyethylene duct in accordance with MLGW Specification #35-25XX dated April 1, 2020. Bidders must submit manufacturer data sheets with marked catalog numbers, lead time documentation, and completed MLGW bid forms; LSB certification and Foreign Adversary Certification are required attachments. Pricing is due on a per-foot basis for the full 20,000-foot quantity, with all freight, taxes, insurance, and incidental costs included. Shipment terms are FOB Memphis, Tennessee, prepaid and allowed.

This is an invited-suppliers-only solicitation, and respondents may submit multiple bids. No pre-bid conference or site visit is scheduled. Payment processing requires a minimum of 30 days from invoice receipt. Disputes are resolved under Tennessee law and procedures in Shelby County courts. Sellers must maintain comprehensive insurance, provide Material Safety Data Sheets if applicable, warrant conformance to specification and merchantable quality, and certify no patent or copyright infringement.
