Convection steamer

The State of New Hampshire, specifically the Division of Procurement and Support Services, is seeking to procure a Cleveland Range Model No. 21CGAS Steamcraft Ultra S Convection Steamer for the New Hampshire Hospital located at 36 Clinton St. in Concord, NH. This procurement is for a one-time order of a replacement convection steamer, which must be configured for natural gas and include a stand. The successful vendor will be required to provide a "white glove" delivery, involving uncrating, inspection, and placement of the unit inside the kitchen, with the hospital handling final mechanical connections. Key deliverables include a 60-inch gas quick disconnect hose and a comprehensive 1-year warranty covering 100% of parts, shipping, labor, travel, and expenses. The bid invitation requires vendors to submit pricing information on the provided offer sheet, with the award to be made to the responsible vendor submitting the lowest conforming bid that meets all specifications. The bid is due by 11:00 AM (EST) on October 25, 2023, and vendors must provide complete contact information as part of their submission.

The bid documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement. Vendors do not need to be registered with the state to submit a bid, though registration will be required if awarded the contract. The procurement covers jurisdictions including Merrimack County and Concord City, with a specific focus on the New Hampshire Hospital. While the existing equipment is a Vulcan unit, the new steamer will be from Cleveland Range, indicating no incumbent vendor continuity. The bid documents do not explicitly state a specific budget range or award value, but interested vendors should be prepared to provide competitive pricing for the convection steamer and associated delivery services. The State reserves the right to reject any or all bids, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process. Payment for the awarded contract will be processed via ACH or Procurement Card.
