First aid supplies

The Pasadena Department of Water and Power (PWP) is seeking a vendor to furnish and deliver first aid supplies to various field office locations in Pasadena, California. The procurement, identified as Project ID 2023-Informal-510, involves comprehensive first aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, bandages, burn treatment products, gloves, eye wash, and first aid cabinets. PWP currently maintains seventeen first aid kits serving approximately 350 employees and requires a full-service vendor capable of on-site delivery and replenishment every 8 to 12 weeks, with deliveries completed within 3 business days of order placement. The contract will run from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, with interested vendors required to submit electronic proposals through the City's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 pm on Thursday, June 8, 2023. Vendors must comply with California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) requirements, particularly for locations with electrical workers. The bid will be evaluated based on the lowest Grand Total Price, with quantities listed as estimated annual requirements. The deadline for submitting questions is Tuesday, May 30, 2023.

The solicitation emphasizes local preferences, equal employment opportunity, and living wage ordinance compliance. While not explicitly restricted, vendors will need to provide a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov and potentially obtain a Pasadena business license. Vendors are encouraged to complete optional workforce utilization forms (AA-1, AA-2, AA-3) that track diversity and employment demographics, though these will not factor into contract award decisions. Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience by completing a Relevant Experience Form detailing five previous projects. Pricing must include all taxes, and successful bidders will likely be required to provide proof of insurance. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement is funded by the City of Pasadena and covers annual first aid supply requirements for approximately 350 employees across seventeen field locations. Vendors must also submit a Disclosure of Lobbying Activities form and potentially complete a technical questionnaire to ensure compatibility with the city's existing infrastructure.
