Invitation for Bid #: 54-DM-11413

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) #54-DM-11413 for the procurement of Corrugated Aluminum Pipe and Aluminum Bands. This state and local contract opportunity involves the State of North Carolina and Moore County. The intent is to award a one-time purchase contract to furnish and deliver the required 24-inch and 42-inch corrugated aluminum pipe and connecting bands for the Moore County Maintenance office. The products must meet NCDOT's Division of Highways Roads and Structures Specifications, and the successful vendor must be an authorized reseller of the manufacturer's materials. Bids are due by September 16, 2024 at 2:00PM ET. The award will be made to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets the specifications, and NCDOT reserves the right to make separate awards for individual line items or to not make an award at all if it is deemed in the State's best interest.

The solicitation includes an Addendum that modifies the delivery requirements, changing the unloading responsibility from the vendor to NCDOT. The solicitation opening date has also been extended to a new date. Vendors are required to indicate if they are submitting an updated response to address the changes in the Addendum or if no changes to their original response are required. While the IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions, it does require vendors to submit information on their historically underutilized business (HUB) status and worker location. No incumbent vendors or budget ranges are provided in the available documents.
