Bras for Women's Prisons

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is seeking competitive bids from qualified vendors to furnish and deliver bras on an "as needed" basis for the female inmates in the state's women's prisons. The Invitation for Bids (IFB) specifies two types of bras - average figure and full figure - with detailed requirements for fabric content, sizing, features, and labeling. Vendors must submit bids by September 23, 2024, and the State will make the award decision at a later date. The pricing provided will be firm for the first 180 days of the one-year contract. No minimum or maximum order quantities are guaranteed, and the State reserves the right to adjust quantities as needed. Vendors must be authorized by the manufacturer to distribute or resell the products and provide financial information, references, and details on HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not mentioned. The IFB does not provide any information on the award value or budget range for this procurement.
