AGGREGATE, ABC (Non-Granite)-Jones County

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a term contract to furnish and deliver Aggregate ABC (Non-Granite Material Only) to the Jones County Maintenance location. The procurement seeks approximately 5,000 tons of aggregate material, with a contract duration of one year from the final contract execution date. Vendors must deliver the aggregate Free-On-Board (FOB) Destination to 379 Nobles Loop Rd, Trenton, NC 28585, with a required delivery timeline of twenty consecutive calendar days after receiving an order. The aggregate must strictly conform to sections 1005, 1008, 1010, and 1012 of the NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures, with a critical requirement that no granite material will be accepted. Electronic bids will be opened on June 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET through the electronic Vendor Portal (eVP), with vendors required to complete several mandatory attachments including pricing forms, HUB supplemental information, worker location documentation, and detailed producer/supplier quarry or pit facility information.

The solicitation emphasizes HUB (Historically Underutilized Businesses) participation, establishing a goal of 10% utilization of diverse firms as 1st or 2nd tier subcontractors. Prospective bidders must ensure their Producer/Supplier Quarry or Pit facility is an approved resource listed on the NCDOT website and complies with the Mining Act of 1971. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement is designed as an agency-specific term contract for ongoing aggregate supply. Vendors must submit a financial condition certification and demonstrate compliance with various regulatory requirements. The contract appears structured to promote diversity in vendor selection while maintaining strict technical and operational standards for aggregate material procurement. Although no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the detailed submission requirements suggest a competitive and carefully managed procurement process focused on securing high-quality aggregate materials for county maintenance operations.
