Bids are due by 10:00 am CST on January 17, 2025, and must be submitted through BidBuy or email. All materials must be manufactured in the United States and delivered by June 30, 2025, which marks the end of the fiscal year. Deliveries are restricted to Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., excluding holidays and weekends, and must be made to the facility's warehouse receiving dock. The procurement requires F.O.B. destination pricing with all transportation and handling costs included, and the state reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part.

The contract has a maximum value of under $50,000 and will be funded from state sources for fiscal year 2025. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, vendors must comply with standard state procurement requirements, including maintaining specific insurance coverage. The insurance requirements include $1 million per occurrence for General Commercial Liability, $1 million for Auto Liability, and Worker's Compensation Insurance. Vendors should be aware that the state retains the right to audit vendor records for 3-5 years depending on the funding source. Minority contractors awarded contracts over $1,000 will be required to pay a $15 fee, which will be deducted from their first payment. The contract term begins upon final signatures and ends on June 30, 2025, aligning with the state's fiscal year and the required delivery deadline for the steel materials.
