Furnish polycarbonate glazing panels (no installation)

The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) issued Request for Quote (RFQ) CAAA 2015000009 for the furnishing of polycarbonate glazing panels for the Centennial Correctional Facility in Canon City, Colorado. This procurement seeks 216 units of 3/8" thick by 25 1/2" wide by 58 1/2" long clear UV coated polycarbonate sheets with one-side coating. Bidders must submit quotes on a per-unit basis with all freight costs included under FOB-Destination terms, with responses due by July 30, 2014, at 2:00 PM Mountain Standard Time via fax to the CDOC Purchasing Office. Evaluation criteria include cost, projected delivery dates, quality and safety considerations, life cycle costs, and bidder qualifications and experience. Technical inquiries should be directed to Jerry Filler at the Centennial Correctional Facility, while administrative questions should be directed to Kristina Ireland, the Purchasing Agent. The CDOC reserves the right to award the contract to a single bidder or divide the award among multiple bidders as deemed in the State's best interests, and reserves the right to cancel any order if delivery is not completed by the date stated in the bid response.

The solicitation includes a preference for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) based in Colorado as part of the award consideration criteria. Standard payment terms are Net-30 days after receipt of goods and invoice, unless otherwise specified by the bidder. No specific budget range or award value is stated in the solicitation documents. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation, the specificity of the polycarbonate panel specifications suggests these materials are replacements for existing infrastructure at the correctional facility. No set-asides exclusively restricting competition to specific business classifications are noted, allowing qualified vendors of all types to submit responsive bids, though preference consideration is extended to qualifying Colorado-based SDVOSBs.
