First Aid Kit Supplies & Related Services

The Houston Community College (HCC) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide First Aid Kit Supplies & Related Services. HCC is soliciting proposals for a term contract to provide first aid supplies and related services, including servicing 151 currently installed first aid kits across 20 campus locations on a quarterly basis. The selected contractor must meet the ANSI/OSEA Z308.1-2015 standard for the first aid kits. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting will be held on January 17, 2024, and proposals are due by January 31, 2024. HCC anticipates awarding to a single supplier, though may award to multiple vendors as "Primary" and "Secondary". The contract term is one year with four one-year renewal options, and HCC expects to purchase up to $60,000 of goods and services each year, though this amount may vary.

HCC has a Small Business Development Program that applies to this procurement, with points awarded for small business participation. The RFP specifies that the selected contractor must have at least two sources for all item categories submitted, due to global supply chain challenges. Quantities are estimated and not guaranteed, and HCC may require more or less. The contractor must provide the new first aid kits, install and service them per the scope of work. HCC is interested in maximizing value and encourages bidders to propose added value concepts and programs.
