ITB 2026-1200-0108 - Household Goods Move - Dillingham to North Pole

The State of Alaska, specifically the Department of Public Safety's Division of Alaska Wildlife Troopers, is seeking a contractor to perform a household goods move from Dillingham to North Pole under Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2026-1200-0108. The procurement involves transporting approximately 3,770 pounds of household goods and a 2006 Jeep Wrangler, with two distinct bidding categories: standard transportation and vehicle shipping via barge in Spring 2026. The contract period will run from the award date (anticipated October 20, 2025) until delivery, with pack and load dates scheduled between November 3-7, 2025, and delivery dates between November 18-28, 2025. Bids must be submitted electronically by October 6, 2025, at 1:30 pm AKST, with all questions directed in writing to Procurement Specialist Calin Logan at calin.logan@alaska.gov. Evaluation will be based on fixed pricing per line item, with bidders able to propose for one or both categories, and the state will only pay based on certified weight tickets. Contractors must provide a heated warehouse with fire protection and pest control, comply with state and federal regulations, and maintain specific insurance coverage.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will cover up to 15,000 pounds for supervisory and Public Safety Employees Association members, including all associated costs such as labor, overtime, handling, delivery, packing, and up to 30 days of storage. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract is structured as a firm fixed-price type with precise requirements for service delivery. The estimated total move value appears to be relatively modest, likely in the range of $5,000-$10,000 depending on final weight and transportation complexities. Bidders must complete the attached bid schedule spreadsheet without alterations, providing detailed pricing and confirming service capabilities, including the ability to move firearms during the household goods move. The state will directly invoice employees for costs exceeding 15,000 pounds and storage beyond 30 days, creating a transparent cost structure for the moving services.
