Disaster Bags

Fulton County's Department of Purchasing & Contract Compliance is seeking qualified vendors to provide disaster bags for the Medical Examiner's Office through an E-Quote solicitation (25RFQ1358284C-JH). The procurement involves two specific disaster pouch specifications: 1,600 medium weight white disaster pouches measuring 94" x 36", and 40 medium weight white disaster pouches measuring 48" x 24". Vendors must submit e-quote responses online through BidNet Direct by Monday, June 2, 2025, at 2:00 P.M., with the final day for submitting questions being Wednesday, May 28, 2025. The contract term is 12 months with no renewal options. Evaluation criteria for vendor selection will include ability to perform, conformance to specifications, previous contract performance, financial capability, item pricing, and vendor references. Bidders are required to provide samples of the disaster bags with their quote and include shipping charges in their pricing. Pricing must remain fixed for the entire contract period.

The county emphasizes a non-discrimination policy and encourages participation from diverse business enterprises. Vendors must complete the Contract Compliance Requirements document and may need to provide certification if they qualify as a minority, female-owned, or other specialized business classification. The maximum contract value is set at $100,000.00, with the award to be made to the overall lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Potential vendors will need to demonstrate financial stability, technical capability to produce the specified disaster bags, and compliance with all county procurement requirements. The solicitation appears to be open to a wide range of vendors, with particular encouragement for minority and women-owned businesses to participate. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and the procurement seems to be a new contract for the Medical Examiner's Office's disaster preparedness needs.
