Bernina Sewing Machines

Weld County School District 6 is conducting a competitive bid procurement for fifty (50) Bernina 325 Sewing Machines for its Career & Technical Education Center, with a specific distribution of 30 units to Greeley West High School and 20 units to Northridge High School. The procurement is formally identified as bid WCSD6-25-386-1212, with electronic submissions exclusively accepted via email to sfrancies@greeleyschools.org by 2:00 PM on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. No alternate sewing machine models will be permitted due to curriculum and partner requirements, and vendors must include delivery costs in their quoted price. Evaluation criteria will extend beyond pricing, with consideration given to vendor performance and service history with the school district. Phillip Jenkins, the Grant Accountant, is managing the project and can be contacted at 970-348-6125 for potential inquiries. Vendors are required to provide unit pricing, total bid price, and anticipated delivery date as part of their submission package.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions. The district encourages cooperative purchasing, potentially allowing other governmental jurisdictions to utilize the contract pricing. Payment will be processed via Visa, and vendors must certify their bid is submitted without collusion or prior understanding with other bidders. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves fifty sewing machines, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The district's requirement for Bernina 325 Sewing Machines indicates a specific technological preference, which may limit potential respondents to vendors with direct access to or partnerships with Bernina. The procurement supports the district's Career & Technical Education Center's curriculum needs, highlighting an educational infrastructure investment focused on providing specialized technical training equipment.
