Hoop Houses - 100 ft x 16 ft - Tunnel

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Division of Procurement Services, is requesting quotations for three hoop houses (100 feet by 16 feet, tunnel configuration) on behalf of the Department of Corrections, with quotations due September 13, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time through the AdvantageME/Vendor Self Service system.

Two units will be delivered to Mountain View Correctional Facility in Charleston, Maine, and one unit to Maine Correctional Center in Windham, Maine. All quotations must include FOB Destination shipping terms covering all transportation charges to both locations. Delivery immediately after order receipt is a factor in award evaluation.

Bidders must submit a bid cover page and debarment form (wet-signed or electronically signed), a quote on company letterhead with vendor and manufacturer part numbers and pricing, manufacturer product data sheets documenting specification compliance, and warranty information. Questions must be submitted through VSS no later than two business days before the closure date. The State is tax-exempt and requests that quotations exclude federal, state, and local taxes.

The State will evaluate quotations on a best value basis, weighing product conformity with specifications, delivery dates, and overall State interest. No guaranteed award is associated with this opportunity — all purchases depend on bid results and departmental budget. The State reserves the right to negotiate purchase of additional units at the bid price for six months following official award. The State may decline to award to the lowest-price bidder if that bidder has documented poor performance or a terminated contract within the previous five years.
