Denture Adhesive - Canteen

The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC), Division of Colorado Correctional Industries (CCi), issued Documented Quote DQ 26-0468 on May 7, 2026, seeking competitive quotes for denture adhesive products to support the Canteen Services program for resale to offenders throughout CDOC facilities in Garfield County, Colorado. The procurement specifically requires Fixodent or Poligrip brand denture adhesive exclusively, with product sizes of 2.2 ounces or larger, supplied on an as-needed basis throughout the award period. Bidders must submit mandatory product samples in case lots of 3-5 products per brand by May 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM to the CCi Canteen Warehouse in Canon City, Colorado, with written inquiries due by May 13, 2026 at 1:00 PM Mountain Standard Time and quote submissions due by 3:00 PM MST on May 22, 2026 through bidnetdirect.com/cdoc. The anticipated notice of intent to award is June 4, 2026, with contract execution estimated for June 15, 2026, and the initial purchase order term running from June 15, 2026 through June 14, 2027, with provisions for renewal for up to three additional one-year periods not to exceed four years total. All pricing must be itemized, firm during the initial term, and inclusive of shipping costs with no additional surcharges or taxes to be paid by CDOC, though annual adjustments of up to 2.5% are permitted in June based on the Consumer Price Index. The CDOC will award to the responsible bidder whose acceptable quote is determined most advantageous, with price and cost as the primary consideration, though sample quality and delivery lead time may also be evaluated; products must be packaged exclusively in plastic containers engineered to withstand high-altitude transportation, deliveries accepted Monday through Thursday between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM with minimum three calendar days' written notice required, and back orders are not permitted with vendors disqualified for three years or indefinitely upon three non-deliveries within agreed timeframes.

The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular organization types or disadvantaged enterprises; however, all bidders must be registered with the Colorado Secretary of State, Bidnet Direct, and CORE, provide certificates of insurance meeting specified requirements (including workers' compensation, commercial general liability with $1,000,000 minimum coverage, and other policies depending on services provided), obtain proof of good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State, and comply with accessibility requirements under state and federal standards. Awarded contractors must complete enhanced criminal background investigations within 30 days, sign a Consent to Search Authorization form (AR Form 300-27C) acknowledging consent to searches and facility access restrictions, provide a completed Form W-9 for federal tax identification purposes, and execute a Non-Conflict of Interest certification attesting compliance with Colorado Revised Statutes procurement conflict provisions. The solicitation documents do not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration for this procurement. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available solicitation materials; however, the CDOC's procurement approach indicates award to the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications, with contract performance at the CCi Canteen Warehouse located at 57500 Highway 50 and Evans Road, CO 81212, under the contact of Amanda Murphey.
