AGGREGATE, ABC (No Granite)-Jones County

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for furnishing Aggregate ABC Material (No Granite) to the Jones County Maintenance facility. The procurement seeks approximately 5,000 tons of aggregate material to be delivered on an as-needed basis, with an initial contract term of one year from the date of final execution. Bids will be electronically opened on March 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET through the state's electronic procurement system. Delivery requirements specify that materials must be delivered within twenty consecutive calendar days after order receipt, with deliveries accepted Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM, excluding state holidays. Vendors must submit detailed pricing on the provided Pricing Form and specify their approved quarry or pit facility. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest responsive bidder meeting all specified requirements, with the state reserving the right to make separate awards for line items or cancel the solicitation if deemed most advantageous.

The solicitation emphasizes participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB), establishing a goal of 10% utilization of diverse firms as 1st or 2nd tier subcontractors. Vendors are required to complete several mandatory attachments, including a HUB Supplemental Vendor Information form, Location of Workers Utilized form, and a Certification of Financial Condition. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as an indefinite quantity contract for aggregate materials. The contract appears open to any qualified vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery requirements. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation, and there are no apparent technology integration requirements beyond standard material delivery logistics. Potential bidders should carefully review all attachments and ensure compliance with the NCDOT's procurement guidelines and material specifications for aggregate ABC material.
