Hardwood Bark

The State of Georgia is soliciting bids for 100% shredded hardwood bark mulch through a goods procurement process. The procurement specification requires that all deliveries contain only single-ground shredded hardwood bark with strict dimensional requirements: no piece shall exceed 3 inches in length and no piece shall exceed 1/2 inch in width. The contract was posted on September 12, 2014, with a proposal due date of September 19, 2014, providing potential bidders with one week to prepare and submit their responses. Interested vendors must ensure their product meets the precise specifications outlined, as any material failing to conform to the stated size parameters would be non-compliant with the contract requirements. The procurement does not appear to include formal evaluation criteria beyond specification compliance, site visit requirements, or bidders' meetings as detailed in the posting information available.

The contract opportunity posting does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or specific limitations on the types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the available documentation. The posting similarly does not disclose an award value or budget range for this hardwood bark mulch procurement, leaving potential bidders without guidance on contract volume or monetary parameters. Vendors interested in this opportunity should verify all applicable requirements and procurement procedures through the official Georgia state contracting system to ensure complete understanding of terms and conditions prior to bid submission.
