ITB 2027-2000-0070 Kitchen Bathroom Supplies

The State of Alaska Department of Corrections, Division of Administrative Services, is soliciting bids under ITB 2027-2000-0070 to establish a multi-year contract for kitchen and bathroom supplies to support DOC facilities statewide on an as-needed basis, with bids due September 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Alaska Time. Multiple Alaska-specific preferences apply: Alaska Bidder Preference (5 percent), Alaska Veteran Preference (5 percent, capped at $5,000), Alaska Military Skills Program Preference (2 percent, capped at $5,000), and preferences for employment programs and Alaskans with disabilities. Bidders must hold a valid Alaska business license prior to the bid deadline to qualify for state preferences.

The scope encompasses 45 line items of kitchen and bathroom supplies, including food service items (plastic utensils, cups, lids, containers, and trays), food preparation items (aluminum foil and food wrap), kitchen textiles (oven mitts and aprons), and personal hygiene products (razors, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, shampoo, combs, feminine hygiene products, and cleaning supplies). Estimated annual quantities range from 5 to 870 cases per item; actual purchases are not guaranteed and will be ordered based on operational needs. Bidders must submit pricing for all 45 items to be considered responsive and must identify exact products offered, including brand, manufacturer, item or catalog number, and package quantity, with approved equivalents or substitutes permitted where specifications allow.

The contract is firm fixed-price commencing approximately October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with options to renew for three additional one-year terms at the state's discretion, contingent upon legislative appropriation. All pricing must remain valid through September 30, 2027. Contractors may request annual price adjustments of up to 5 percent, provided they submit written requests 45 days prior to contract renewal and demonstrate increases result from manufacturer-level cost changes. Delivery is required within 30 to 45 calendar days after order receipt to 14 participating DOC facilities across Alaska (Anchorage, Juneau, Palmer, Nome, Fairbanks, Seward, Eagle River, Kenai, Ketchikan, Bethel, and Wasilla), with delivery costs included in bid price. The state offers a 5 percent prompt payment discount for invoices paid within 15 business days of commodity receipt or invoice receipt, whichever is later. Contractors must maintain Workers' Compensation Insurance, Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum $300,000 coverage, and Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance with minimum $300,000 coverage. Award will be made by lot to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on total cost.
