Gloves

The Long Beach Public Utilities Department is requesting quotations for gloves across six categories with 38 total line items, with quotations due July 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. through the Long Beach Buys portal. A local preference applies: Long Beach-based businesses with a current business license and seller's permit receive a ten percent bid price reduction for evaluation purposes (though payment occurs at the actual quoted price).

The scope spans latex exam gloves, nitrile exam gloves in multiple brands and specifications, cow grain leather gloves, dotted knit gloves, PIP coated gloves, and work gloves with foam nitrile palm coating, across sizes Small through XX-Large. Bidders must provide unit pricing for all 38 line items and may propose a single fixed percentage discount on unlisted items. All items must be new and unused and meet specified requirements.

The contract term is two years. Unit prices must remain firm for the entire two-year period with no increases or discount reductions permitted; LBPUD reserves the right to cancel the contract if pricing is modified. Delivery must occur within five business days of order placement to one of two LBPUD warehouse locations in Long Beach, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. No minimum order requirements apply.

Bidders must confirm at least three years in business providing gloves, agree to the firm-pricing requirement, confirm five-business-day delivery capability, and offer emergency or urgent order services. The awarded contractor must carry comprehensive general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and submit a valid Long Beach Business License prior to contract execution.

Questions are due July 8, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with answers posted by July 15, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.
