About this opportunity

The City of Johnson City Purchasing Department has issued Invitation to Quote (ITQ) #2025-26 for the procurement of 100 bear-resistant trash cans for the Public Works/Solid Waste Services department. The solicitation seeks 95-gallon waste containers with specific technical requirements, including limited metal exposure, automatic locking mechanisms, and compatibility with automated waste collection systems. Vendors must provide containers with a maximum empty cart weight of 45 pounds, two wheels, gravity unlocking for servicing, and the ability to accommodate custom hot stamping. The procurement requires vendors to complete and return a specification checklist, quote sheet, and product specifications/brochures, with potential sample container submission. The quote submission deadline is October 21, 2025, with the City reserving the right to award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive quote, potentially considering vendor past performance. The procurement covers Washington County, Tennessee, and requires a minimum three-year non-prorated warranty on the trash cans.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The document suggests potential cooperative procurement opportunities with other governmental entities in Tennessee, which could expand the contract's scope and value. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the ITQ indicates the City will evaluate quotes based on responsiveness, price, and vendor performance history. The procurement appears to be a standard municipal contract with tax exemption provisions. Though no precise budget range is specified, the requirement for 100 bear-resistant trash cans implies a potential contract value that would be determined by the per-unit pricing submitted by responding vendors. The solicitation leaves flexibility for the City to negotiate and select the most advantageous proposal based on the submitted specifications and pricing.
