The bid opportunity is specific to Beauregard Parish and will be publicly opened on September 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with delivery location set at 6594 Highway 792 in Castor, LA 71016.

The unit price bid must adhere to specific formatting requirements, with prices not exceeding two decimal places. DOTD strongly encourages Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments and requires vendor registration in LaPac prior to bid submission. The procurement opportunity includes preference provisions for U.S. and Louisiana-manufactured products, allowing bidders a potential 5% price preference for products fully manufactured within the United States and a 10% preference for Louisiana-made products. To qualify for these preferences, vendors must meet specific workforce and manufacturing criteria, including having at least 50% Louisiana residents and demonstrating that manufacturing, assembly, processing, packaging, testing, and value-adding activities occur within U.S. territories. Vendors must complete and submit U.S. and Louisiana Preference forms before the bid opening, certifying the origin of their products. The contract potentially allows for two additional 12-month renewal periods, creating a maximum total contract term of 36 months. Bidders must comply with various state and federal regulations, including civil rights laws, ADA accessibility requirements, and prohibitions on discriminatory practices. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a specific quantity of steel H-piles to be delivered to a designated DOTD location in Beauregard Parish.
