The City of Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department is soliciting bids on electrodes, grounding pads, lead wires, and electrode gel for disposable monitoring-device use under ITB 18087-26,3, with bids due August 28, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EST. The question cutoff was August 18, 2026.

Participation in the Jacksonville Small and Emerging Businesses (JSEB) program is encouraged. Bidders may request a Buy American Preference if at least 51 percent of the bid response consists of American-manufactured, assembled, or produced goods; the preference applies only to bidders within 5 percent of the lowest responsive and responsible bid.

Award will be made on an "all or none" basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The resulting contract is a Blanket Purchase Agreement with an initial term of one year; renewal options are subject to approval by both the supplier and the City.

Delivery must occur within 14 days of purchase order release. Vendors must notify the City of manufacturer backorders within 48 hours and provide documentation for any items not received within 30 days. All shipments require detailed packing lists indicating purchase order number, item description, shipment date, quantities, unit prices, and units of measure. All unit prices must be submitted through the City's e-procurement system, 1Cloud, and must include freight, delivery, and handling charges to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department at 355 Ellis Road.

The City reserves the right to purchase more or fewer quantities than estimated and to add or delete items during the contract period. The City is exempt from Florida State Sales Tax and federal excise tax. Payment terms are 45 days after the date specified in Section 218.73, Florida Statutes, for non-construction items. Two addenda have been issued and must be acknowledged by bidders to validate their responses. No pre-bid conference was scheduled.
