DOTD PVC & Duct(S45)

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is soliciting bids for PVC and duct supplies under indefinite-quantity framework procurement S45, with proposals due August 3, 2026.

U.S. preference requirements apply under federal Buy American provisions tied to state transportation funds subject to federal grant conditions. Bidders must certify domestic content of materials and justify any non-domestic sourcing through documentation of unavailability or significant cost differential. Louisiana preference for in-state vendors and Louisiana-manufactured products is also available to qualifying bidders.

The scope encompasses polyvinyl chloride pipes, ducts, and related materials for departmental infrastructure and maintenance projects. Products must comply with DOTD Specification 196-035 (Rev. 9-10-2009) and DOTD Specification 196-034 (Rev. 1-4-2016), which establish detailed material classifications, dimensional standards, pressure ratings, dimensional tolerances, physical properties, and quality assurance and testing procedures. Suppliers must demonstrate capability in supplying materials meeting durability and performance requirements specified throughout the technical standards.

The contract is structured as an indefinite-quantity framework agreement with unit-cost pricing for various PVC and duct products and sizes. Actual purchase volumes and total contract value depend on departmental demand during the performance period. The agreement will include renewal options to provide supply continuity. Vendors must maintain compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations, including environmental and labor requirements.

No pre-bid meeting date, question deadline, or anticipated award date is specified in the source materials.
