Aluminum sign posts

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services is conducting a Request for Bid (RFB #104-25) for aluminum sign posts, specifically targeting Merrimack County's infrastructure needs. The procurement seeks to acquire 600 pieces of 4-inch OD x 13-feet long aluminum sign post tubes with 0.225-inch wall thickness and 100 pieces of 4-inch OD x 20-feet long aluminum sign post tubes with the same wall thickness. Specifications require the aluminum tubing to conform to ASTM B221 standards, be alloy 6063-T6 with mill finish, and all units must be precut to specified lengths, clean, straight, and free of defects. The bid is due on March 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, with delivery required within 50 days after receipt of the Purchase Order to the NHDOT Bureau of Traffic in Concord, NH. Evaluation will be based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with no partial orders accepted. Pricing must be FOB Destination and include all delivery costs, with payment terms of net 30 days after invoice receipt or delivery and acceptance.

The bid appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, though bidders must be registered vendors with the State of New Hampshire prior to award. This is a one-time order with no renewal options, suggesting a finite procurement cycle for the sign post materials. While the specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves 700 total sign post tubes, which implies a moderate-scale infrastructure investment. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement seems focused solely on the acquisition of high-quality aluminum sign posts for transportation infrastructure purposes, with strict technical specifications ensuring uniformity and performance standards for the purchased materials.
