Hospitality and Institutional Mattresses, Bedding and Supplies

The State of Delaware's Office of Management and Budget, Government Support Services is seeking bids for a comprehensive contract (GSS25714-MATTRESS) to provide hospitality and institutional mattresses, bedding, and supplies. The solicitation covers a wide range of products including mattresses, mattress covers, mattress pads, pillows, blankets, sheets, towels, laundry bags, and related linens for state agencies, school districts, political subdivisions, volunteer fire companies, and other eligible entities. The contract will be valid for two years, from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2027, with the option to renew for three additional one-year periods. Vendors must submit detailed bids through an online portal by July 29, 2025, at 3:00 pm local time, including comprehensive product specifications, pricing, and sample products. Bidders are required to provide technical details such as flammability standards, construction specifications, and healthcare-grade certifications. Vendors must also submit a pricing bid table with specific product categories, sizes, colors, and delivery lead times. The state reserves the right to make multiple awards or reject any or all bids, and the contract will be integrated into the state's eMarketplace solution.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must complete various forms including a Non-Collusion Statement, Vendor Information Sheet, Business References form, Confidentiality Form, Exceptions Form, and Subcontractor Information form. The contract requires vendors to be prepared to configure their product catalogs and integrate with the state's procurement system, with no guaranteed minimum quantities promised. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the bid table suggests a potentially significant contract value covering multiple product categories and institutional needs. Vendors must provide firm pricing for the entire contract term, with the option to offer lower pricing during the contract period. Technical support for bid submission will be available through Bonfire Support, with a maximum response time of 2 hours. The state plans to award the contract within 30 days of the bid opening, with the expectation that successful vendors will be able to meet the detailed product specifications and integration requirements.
