CLB096-2024 Trash Bags

The City of Long Beach Purchasing Department in Nassau County, New York, is seeking to procure multiple types of trash bags through solicitation CLB096-2024. The procurement involves several specific trash bag specifications, including black and clear liners in various sizes: 30" x 36", 40" x 48", 33" x 40", and 24" x 33", with different mil/micron thicknesses. Each item will be packaged in 100-case quantities and delivered to approximately seven different city locations throughout the year. Bidders are required to submit physical samples of the trash bags with proper item numbers attached, which will be evaluated for quality and will not be returned; these samples should be sent to the procurement office marked for Rosemary Alton's attention. The solicitation was posted on November 1, 2024, with proposals due by November 14, 2024. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on product quality, specification compliance, and the ability to meet the city's diverse trash bag requirements across multiple municipal locations. Potential vendors seeking additional historical pricing information are instructed to email foil@longbeachny.gov for background details.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the solicitation appears to be a standard municipal procurement opportunity open to qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information is explicitly provided in the available documentation. The addendum suggests that vendors must carefully review the original bid document, particularly specifications on Page 31, indicating a detailed and comprehensive evaluation process. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to produce trash bags meeting precise municipal specifications across multiple sizes and thicknesses. Though specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the provided documents, municipal trash bag contracts typically represent moderate-value procurement opportunities, likely in the range of $50,000 to $250,000 depending on annual consumption volumes. Interested vendors should carefully review all specifications, prepare high-quality product samples, and ensure complete compliance with the city's detailed requirements to maximize their chances of successful bid submission.
