Betco floor finish

The Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) in North Carolina is procuring BETCO UNTOUCHABLE #BET606B500 floor finish in 5-gallon buckets through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The RFQ requires a delivered unit price and firm delivery times that must be scheduled in advance. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for the delivery of 4,500 buckets of the specified floor finish product to a designated location in Raleigh, NC. Interested vendors must submit one executed original sealed proposal directly to the WCPSS Purchasing Office by the due date of November 25, 2024 at 2:00 pm. The RFQ specifies that only full-service distributors for the Betco product line will be considered, and documentation of the bidder's authorized manufacturer status must be provided if not currently doing business with WCPSS. Detailed delivery instructions, including the need for lift gates and pallet jacks, are provided as the delivery location has no dock.

This contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The bid tabulation document indicates this is the second iteration of the procurement, but does not provide any information on the incumbent vendor or the value of the previous contract. The RFQ states that WCPSS is not tax-exempt, and that North Carolina sales tax will be added to the awarded purchase order. The contract will be awarded to a single vendor, unless otherwise specified, with WCPSS reserving the right to reject any and all bids.
