Barber Chairs - SCI Mahanoy

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Department of Corrections for SCI Mahanoy in Somerset County, is soliciting an electronic bid for 10 barber chairs through Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number 6100063291. The procurement requires chairs that match or are comparable to the AYC Adams Barber Chair brand, with specific requirements including black matte leather upholstery, steel construction, reclining capabilities up to 135 degrees, adjustable headrest, and a weight capacity of 450 lbs. The bid is exclusively electronic and will be submitted through the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal, with responses due by April 1, 2025, at 14:25:00. Vendors must be registered on the portal and are responsible for monitoring eMarketplace for any change notices. The Department of Corrections will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible contractor, with delivery to be FOB Destination and the exact delivery date to be mutually determined at the time of award. Bidders must submit two specific forms: the GSPUR-89 Reciprocal Limitations Form and the BOP 22 Worker Protection and Investment Form.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include provisions for Pennsylvania-based suppliers through the Reciprocal Limitations Act, which provides preference percentages for in-state manufacturers. The contract term runs from the execution date through June 30, 2025, with delivery to SCI Mahanoy located at 301 Grey Line Drive, Frackville, PA, during designated hours (8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday-Friday, excluding holidays).

Invoicing will require PDF submissions to 69180@pa.gov within 10 business days of service completion, following Pennsylvania Office of the Budget guidelines. Potential bidders must comply with Department of Corrections security requirements and provide detailed specifications of the proposed chairs, with the department retaining the right to modify packaging or cancel awards due to potential security concerns.
