The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is soliciting bids for the supply and delivery of plumbing products to state agencies under RFB 3113-26. This procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of plumbing materials and fixtures, including ball valves, water filters, steel pipe, PVC pipe in multiple schedules, ABS pipe, hangers, and fittings from approved manufacturers such as American Standard, Delta, Kohler, Moen, Sloan, Taco, Watts, and Zurn. The successful vendor must establish retail store locations throughout New Hampshire, implement a web-based ordering system with electronic order approval and email notification capabilities, maintain delivery capability within five business days of order placement, and provide quarterly and annual usage reports detailing purchases by agency and eligible participant, including sustainability certifications and environmental attributes. All pricing must be quoted in US dollars with delivery costs included as F.O.B. Destination pricing; no additional surcharges, credit card fees, or fuel charges are permitted. Prior to award, vendors must provide proof of comprehensive general liability insurance coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, along with workers' compensation insurance documentation and a certificate of good standing from the New Hampshire Secretary of State if applicable. The bid submission deadline is February 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with written questions due by February 20, 2026, to Jonah Rosa at the Bureau of Purchase and Property, and state responses provided by February 23, 2026. The resulting contract will commence upon Governor and Executive Council approval and continue through May 31, 2031, with an optional extension of up to two additional years under the same terms and conditions.

This procurement is open to political subdivisions, counties, cities, towns, school districts, and nonprofit organizations under section 501(c) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, which may participate at their discretion at established contract prices. The State reserves the right to award the contract to one or more vendors and may reject any or all bids without restriction. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Payment terms include ACH or Procurement Card options with standard payment due 30 days after invoice receipt or item delivery and acceptance, whichever is later. The bid offer sheet does not specify an estimated contract value or budget range; rather, it provides estimated quantities for various plumbing products and requests unit pricing and extended delivered costs from bidders based on these quantities. The State reserves the right to add or delete locations and equipment throughout the contract term, providing flexibility in procurement scope based on evolving agency needs.
