About this opportunity

The School Board of Polk County, Florida, is soliciting bids for a 6-month contract to procure classroom and office supplies, with bid file number 042-SRW-0125. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for delivering various office and classroom supplies to the district's warehouse in Bartow, FL, covering 24 different product categories including binders, file folders, notebooks, pencils, scissors, tablets, labels, and other essential office materials. The bid was released on December 20, 2024, with electronic submissions due on January 14, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET, and the contract period is anticipated to run from February 1, 2025, to July 31, 2025. Evaluation criteria include pricing, vendor responsiveness, and compliance with detailed product specifications, with the School Board reserving the right to award contracts on a composite basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors were required to submit pricing for all items within identified composites and comply with various state and federal regulations, including provisions for out-of-state bidders to provide legal opinions on bidding preferences.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include a Florida Preference statute that may provide advantages to Florida-based businesses. The bid was ultimately awarded to multiple vendors: Pyramid Paper Company dba Pyramid School Products was awarded items 1-5, 7-19, and 21-23; School Specialty, LLC was awarded item 6; and W.B. Mason Co., Inc. was awarded items 20 and 24. The anticipated total bid value is $75,468, with unit prices ranging from $0.39 to $135.90 across different product categories. Vendors were instructed not to ship products or proceed with services without explicit authorization, and purchase orders will be placed by school board personnel as needed. The contract includes provisions for maintaining firm pricing throughout the contract period, with potential adjustments allowed for extreme marketplace volatility. Interested vendors were directed to contact Robert Woods in the Purchasing Department for any questions regarding the recommendation.
