Equestrian Center Bagged Shavings

Escambia County is seeking quotes for bagged shavings for the Equestrian Center through a Request for Quote (RFQ) #Equestrian 9-29-25 for fiscal year 2025-2026. The procurement involves approximately 7 semi-trailer loads of large flake shavings to be delivered throughout the year, with quantities not guaranteed. Vendors must provide trucks loaded in a manner compatible with forklift and pallet jack unloading, specifically requiring non-grooved floor trailers and pallets in good condition. The solicitation requires electronic quote submission through OpenGov Procurement by October 7, 2025, at 12:00 pm, with a deadline for questions on October 3, 2025. Mandatory submission documents include a signed quote form, proof of Sunbiz registration, and a W-9 form. Vendors must deliver to the Escambia County Equestrian Center located at 7750 Mobile Highway in Pensacola, Florida, with Parks staff handling the unloading process.

The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide a certificate of insurance meeting Escambia County's standard requirements, with the county listed as an additional insured. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, potential bidders can contact the Equestrian Center directly at 850-941-6042 for additional information. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the scope suggests multiple semi-trailer loads throughout the fiscal year. Vendors must create a free account on OpenGov Procurement to participate and are advised to review the full terms and conditions available on the county's website before submission. The solicitation appears to be an open competitive procurement with standard local government requirements for vendors seeking to supply bagged shavings to the county's equestrian facility.
