CN1091N Equipment for a Walk-in Freezer for Bell Fork Elementary School

Onslow County Schools Procurement & Materials Management Department is seeking quotes for equipment to outfit a walk-in freezer at Bell Fork Elementary School through Request for Quotes (RFQ) CN1091N. The procurement specifically requires an evaporator assembly, condenser unit, compressor, and associated installation materials for a 12'x8' walk-in freezer with 8' height. The equipment must be capable of maintaining temperatures between -10 and 0 degrees in 95-degree outdoor conditions. Quotes are due by October 30, 2025, with a required delivery timeline of 30 days after order receipt. The contract term extends through June 30, 2026, and vendors must provide itemized costs for equipment, warranty, and additional materials. Bidders are expected to deliver the equipment to the School Nutrition Central Warehouse Office and be responsible for unloading using lift gate or mechanical equipment. The solicitation follows North Carolina procurement regulations and allows for potential award on a split order or lump sum basis.

The RFQ does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the document emphasizes that all materials should be new and current. Onslow County Schools reserves the right to reject any or all bids, providing flexibility in the procurement process. The solicitation includes provisions for e-procurement and suggests potential budgetary considerations may influence award decisions. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the available documentation, though the scope suggests a moderate-sized equipment procurement for school nutrition infrastructure. Vendors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the technical requirements, provide comprehensive pricing, and demonstrate capability to deliver and install the walk-in freezer equipment within the specified timeframe.
