E-Cigarette - DOC/PE

The Louisiana Department of Corrections is seeking to establish a Blanket Order Contract for the procurement of E-Cigarettes. The contract will have an initial term from the date of award through June 30, 2025, with two optional 12-month renewal periods, for a total contract duration of up to 36 months. The E-Cigarettes will be supplied on an as-needed basis for canteen resale, with an estimated quantity of 120,000 units, though this may be increased or decreased as required. The specific product requested is similar to the Jail Puff Maxx brand, with detailed specifications provided. Delivery is expected within 7-10 days after receipt of order, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting the requirements.

The contract does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The solicitation is being issued by the Office of State Procurement in Louisiana, and will be awarded on an individual basis. No information is provided regarding incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The pricing terms state that the unit price must be inclusive of any freight charges, and minimum orders may be one unit, with payment to be made within 30 days after receipt of a properly executed invoice or delivery.
