Dance Uniforms - South High School

Parkway School District in Missouri is seeking bids for a one-time procurement of 15 dance uniforms for South High School through a competitive bidding process. The uniforms must be manufactured in navy blue, red, and white, constructed from spandex material, and delivered to the Parkway Warehouse in Chesterfield, Missouri. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals including a company W-9, vendor signature page, federal work authorization form, three references, specification sheets, an affidavit of non-collusion, and a completed pricing sheet. The bid (Proposal Number 26-31) is scheduled for submission by August 28, 2025, at 3:30 PM CST, with questions due by August 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The district will evaluate bids based on the "lowest and best" proposal, considering factors such as specification compliance, vendor capabilities, supply commitment, prior experience, and financial strength. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal, with the district tentatively planning to notify the winning vendor on September 12, 2025, at 4:00 PM.

The procurement opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the district emphasizes a policy of nondiscrimination and compliance with federal and state regulations, including the Missouri Human Rights Act. Vendors must be registered in the E-Verify program and confirm they are not employing unauthorized aliens, with contracts over $5,000 requiring documentation of federal work authorization program participation. The district reserves the right to award the bid based on the most advantageous proposal and potentially extend agreements for one month under the same terms. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a one-time purchase of 15 uniforms, suggesting a relatively modest contract value. Vendors must provide F.O.B. destination pricing, including all handling, freight, assembly, and setup costs, and can only offer new equipment with no used or reconditioned items accepted. The district also allows vendors to indicate their willingness to provide identical bid terms to other local school districts, potentially expanding the contract's scope.
