For Shelving and Installation - UPDATED

The Tennessee Department of General Services is requesting bids for shelving products and installation services under ITB #32101-13979, with bids due September 24, 2026. This procurement is restricted to Tennsco brand products as the sole acceptable manufacturer, approved as a proprietary procurement under Tennessee Central Procurement Office procedures; the amendment issued September 4 confirms Tennsco maintains over 100 authorized resellers throughout Tennessee capable of obtaining pricing and submitting bids.

The scope encompasses all 21 Tennsco product categories: deluxe, standard, and jumbo storage cabinets; standard, ventilated, see-through, and cubby lockers; nine shelving systems (Imperial, Bulk Rack, ESP, Q-Line, Stur-D, Z-Line, Record Archive, Capstone, and L&T); all-purpose, electronic, and modular workbenches; tool carts; service carts; packing tables; and all available accessories. The contract includes up to 10,000 hours of installation labor and trip charges across four defined state regions (40 trips Region 1, 20 Region 2, 30 Region 3, 15 Region 4). All products must be delivered within 60 days of purchase order issuance and installed within five business days of receipt, with punch-list completion within 21 days. Installation services require quote responses within five business days, order confirmation within two business days, and shipping confirmation within one week of PO receipt.

The estimated contract value is $1.855 million over a three-year initial term with two optional twelve-month renewals. Award is based on lowest responsive cost across 22 distinct pricing categories evaluated as total discounts off Tennsco catalog pricing. Bidders must quote on all categories using the supplied Category Discount Workbook; non-compliance with worksheet format renders bids non-responsive.

The contractor must establish an Account Manager within 20 miles of the STREAM office in Nashville and designate a Lead Installer for on-site coordination. All steel components require five-stage phosphatizing pre-treatment and electrostatically applied polyester/epoxy powder paint rated for 250 hours salt spray minimum.
