ECONOMY SNEAKERS for Maryland Correctional Enterprises

The Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE) is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to procure Men's Economy Sneakers for their Sew/Garment plant. The successful bidder will be required to provide the sneakers, which will be delivered to the MCE Central Warehouse Textiles in Jessup, Maryland. The estimated annual quantity is 6,000 pairs, with detailed specifications provided in the IFB. Bids are due by October 13, 2021 at 10:00 AM local time, and the contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the most favorable bid price, delivery times, required bid sample, and warranty. The contract will be for a one- to three-year base period, with a single two-year renewal option.

The IFB does not specify any Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) subcontracting goals. The State intends to make a single award as a result of this IFB. The pricing structure for the sneakers is $11.98 per pair for sizes 4-12 and 13-15, and $18.98 per pair for sizes 16-20. Bids that cannot supply the larger sizes 16-20 will be disqualified. The MCE will accept palletized bulk shipments of the sneakers, with each pair packaged individually.
