ISCC Carpet Tile and Adhesive

The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of Carpet Tile and Adhesive for the Idaho State Correctional Center (ISCC) in Kuna, Idaho. The specific procurement includes 562.12 square yards of Interface Open Air 419 Carpet Tile in Brown and 16 gallons of XL Brands 2000 Plus Adhesive, with the option for equivalent products that meet the specified requirements. Quotes are due by 5:00 PM Mountain Time on April 3, 2024, with delivery to be made to the ISCC location utilizing a liftgate. The award will be made to the responsive and responsible vendor submitting the lowest total cost for the specified items. Delivery is required FOB Destination, and the IDOC reserves the right to order only specific line items and potentially less than the full requested quantities. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing that includes all delivery-associated costs, and those proposing equivalent items must submit detailed documentation demonstrating product equivalency. The procurement covers Ada County and potentially extends to other jurisdictions within the state of Idaho.

The solicitation does not specifically indicate any set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. The RFQ is open to vendors authorized to conduct business in Idaho, with standard insurance requirements including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, workers' compensation, and employer's liability insurance. Vendors must provide certificates naming the State of Idaho, the agency, and its divisions as additional insureds. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be for a relatively modest project focused on carpet tile and adhesive for a correctional facility. The state maintains standard contractual protections, including the requirement for 30-day written notice of any policy cancellations or material changes to insurance coverage. The contract appears to be a direct purchase arrangement with no indication of multi-year commitments or complex pricing structures.
