CW23027B Correctional Clothing Rebid

Oklahoma County is seeking qualified vendors through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a Correctional Clothing Rebid (Solicitation No. CW23027B) to supply clothing for the Oklahoma County Juvenile Bureau. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of detainee clothing, including white and green t-shirts, khaki and navy blue pants, dark green and gray sweatshirts, white socks, boys' briefs, girls' panties, girls' sports bras, and juvenile low-top canvas shoes and shower sandals in various sizes. Vendors must provide first-quality clothing capable of withstanding industrial machine washing, with specific color and material requirements, and submit samples of each item for inspection and approval. The county will evaluate bids based on lowest and best criteria, reserving the right to award by category, line item, or individual priced item. Key procurement dates include a question deadline of August 1, 2022, and bid submission deadline of August 12, 2022, at 12:00 PM CST. The contract period runs from the date of award through June 30, 2023, with bidders required to indicate if their bid is "all or none" per item or category.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must submit detailed pricing, including any variations for oversized items or quantity discounts, and all charges, fees, and exceptions must be listed in the bid submission. The clothing must be plain with no embroidery or design, and shipping logistics include provisions for both palletized and non-palletized shipments to the Oklahoma County Juvenile Bureau's loading dock. For non-palletized packages arriving via FedEx or UPS, the Juvenile Bureau will provide a pallet at no additional charge to the vendor. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documents, the procurement covers a comprehensive clothing inventory for juvenile detainees, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. Vendors must adhere to best commercial practices and meet stringent specifications for material, size, color, and construction of the correctional clothing.
