Door Hardware Bids

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) Facilities Department is soliciting bids for door hardware through a Request for Bids (RFB #02212025) to establish two contractor positions - a primary and an alternate vendor. The procurement seeks comprehensive door hardware solutions, specifically targeting SCHL/LOCK components and Allegion products for as-needed institutional requirements. The contract will span 24 months, commencing on March 1, 2025, and concluding on February 28, 2027, with potential for two consecutive one-year renewals. Bid submissions are due by 3:00 PM on February 28, 2025, and must be completed using the provided spreadsheet format. Evaluation criteria will include price, product availability, operational hours, delivery efficiency, and warranty provisions. The college anticipates purchasing between 85 to 200 units of various lock types during the contract period. Bidders must provide detailed information about inventory levels, business operations, delivery capabilities, warranty terms, and company background, with incomplete or improperly formatted submissions being summarily rejected.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in door hardware procurement, including shipping cost inclusion and potential pricing adjustment mechanisms that require mutual written agreement. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract appears open to qualified suppliers with robust inventory and delivery infrastructures. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but the expected purchase volume suggests a potentially significant contract value. Successful vendors will be selected based on best value principles, with MHCC explicitly noting that no specific purchase quantities are guaranteed. Bidders should be prepared to provide competitive pricing, reliable product availability, and responsive customer service to maximize their chances of being selected as either the primary or alternate contractor for this door hardware procurement opportunity.
