About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Ocala, Florida, through its Ocala Utility Services/Resource Management department, is soliciting sealed bids for an inventory of fiber optic materials for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 under Invitation to Bid (ITB# OFN/260227). The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of fiber optic networking equipment, including 80,000 feet of 4-fiber flat drop cable, 60,000 feet of 12-fiber flat drop cable, 120,000 feet of 96-fiber underground cable, fiber optic jumpers, terminals, trays, routers, and safety markers. Bids must be submitted electronically through the AURSI system (www.aursi.com) by December 3, 2026, at 2:00 P.M., with a bid period of ninety days and potential extension to one year with an optional one-year renewal. The City will evaluate bids based on lowest responsive bidder meeting specifications, considering factors such as compliance, cost, warranty, delivery, past experience, and drug-free workplace status. Potential bidders must contact Mary Ann St. Laurent, Warehouse & Inventory Manager, at mstlaurent@ocalafl.org or (352) 351-6705 for any questions, and must submit required documentation including bid response forms, affidavits, E-Verify forms, and MSDS sheets.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. All materials must be delivered FOB to the City of Ocala Utility Services Warehouse at 1805 NE 30th Avenue, Building 700, Gate 5, Ocala, Florida 34470, with all transportation charges prepaid. The City will utilize its Florida Sales Tax Exemption Number 85-8012621655C-9 and Federal Tax Number 59-6000392, and will offer net thirty-day payment terms. The procurement allows for potential award to multiple vendors and reserves the right to add, delete, or cancel items. While specific award values are not detailed, the extensive list of fiber optic materials suggests a significant procurement investment. The bid specifications strictly note that "ONLY SPECIFIED O.E.U. MANUFACTURER WILL BE ACCEPTED," and all wood reels are non-returnable, with bids including reel deposits or returnable reels subject to potential rejection.
