Jura Tile

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has issued Request for Quote (RFQ) #23-455-RFQ for procuring Jura Limestone tile for installation at their facility. The specific procurement requires 24"x24"x3/8" tiles in two color variants: Venetian Beige and Grey. The solicitation mandates that all quoted items must be new, unused, of the current year model, and fully supported by the manufacturer's warranty. Vendors must quote all items to be considered responsive, and no alternate items or substitutions will be accepted. The RFQ was issued on April 14, 2023, with responses required by 2:00 PM EST on April 28, 2023, and GOAA intends to issue a Purchase Order or begin Blanket Releases by May 31, 2023. Pricing terms require vendors to include all shipping expenses to GOAA's location (ZIP: 32827), with payment terms set at Net 30 after receipt of goods. The award will be made to the responsive and responsible vendor providing the lowest overall quotation, with GOAA reserving the right to award by individual item, groups of items, or all or none.

The RFQ does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The procurement covers natural limestone tiles sourced from German quarries, with tiles classified under Color Range 1, indicating consistent but not uniform appearance. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the specification emphasizes the natural variability of the stone, recommending that potential users review multiple samples to understand the expected color and texture range. The tiles are derived from limestone formations dating back 180 million years and are suitable for various architectural and design applications. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the procurement appears to be for a specific tile requirement for the Orlando airport facility. The tiles are identified by specific product codes: STF-2Karl for Venetian Beige and STF-1Karl for Grey, both representing high-quality natural stone materials intended for professional architectural applications.
