About this opportunity

The Pinellas County School District is conducting a competitive solicitation (ITB #25-HO-035) for comprehensive classroom furniture procurement covering 14 distinct furniture categories including freestanding education furniture, seating, storage, technology support furniture, library furniture, science laboratory furniture, cafeteria furniture, and specialized furniture for early childhood, audio/visual, art instruction, educational offices, soft seating, music, and career/technical education environments. The contract will run from March 25, 2025, to March 24, 2027, with options for two additional two-year renewals. Electronic bids are due by 3:00 pm on February 28, 2025, through the District's OpenGov Procurement portal. Bidders must provide fixed percentage discounts off manufacturer price lists for different order size thresholds and offer three delivery options: tailgate, inside delivery, and delivered and installed. Evaluation will be based on a scoring system ranking discounts across seven order size categories and two hourly rates for additional services like reconfiguration and design. Suppliers must meet comprehensive regulatory requirements, including compliance with safety standards from OSHA, NFPA, and BIFMA, and provide manufacturer authorization letters, product catalogs, and evidence of experience.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises in the solicitation documents. The procurement does not list incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure. The estimated contract value is approximately $500,000, excluding potential renewal options, with the District reserving the right to make adjustments based on marketplace conditions and potentially extend contract usage to other governmental agencies. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including insurance certificates (with specific coverage requirements ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 depending on contract value), evidence of E-Verify employment eligibility compliance, and detailed references. The School Board of Pinellas County plans to award the contract on or about April 1, 2025, with School Board approval anticipated for April 8, 2025. All products must be new, unused, and represent the latest design and technology standards, with specific warranty provisions including 10-year warranties on certain product components.
