ITB-158570- Emergency Supply Disinfectant Kit Items

The City of Dearborn, located in Wayne County, Michigan, is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB-158570) for a one-time purchase of Emergency Supply Disinfectant Kit Items. The procurement seeks 1,500 units of various emergency supplies, including 5-gallon buckets, cleaning supplies, personal protective equipment, and cleaning tools, with some specific items like Aqua Latex Gloves required in quantities of 3,000 units. Bidders must be approved manufacturers' authorized dealers or resellers and demonstrate experience by having completed at least three similar contracts within the past five years. The bid was issued on July 30, 2025, with pre-bid questions due by August 5, 2025, and the final bid submission deadline set for August 13, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. local time. Electronic bids must be uploaded to the Michigan Intergovernmental Trade Network (MITN) website, and bidders are required to complete multiple forms including a Bid Form, Exceptions and Alternatives Form, and Verification of Minimum Qualifications Form. The City reserves the right to award the contract by item, group, or in total to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing to remain firm for a one-year period.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with federal compliance requirements outlined in the attached documentation, which includes adherence to CDBG-DR (Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery) regulations. The compliance documentation mandates strict financial record-keeping, with records to be maintained for at least three years, and requires compliance with various federal standards including Davis-Bacon wage requirements, equal employment opportunities, and environmental protections. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the emergency supply kit suggests a significant procurement value. The contract is structured as a one-time purchase with no minimum order amounts, and bidders are prohibited from adding extra charges. The City will evaluate bids based on completeness, compliance with specifications, and overall best value to the municipality, with a focus on selecting a vendor that can comprehensively meet the emergency supply kit requirements.
