KD/VDC/laundry detergent/03-23

Henrico County, Virginia, through the Virginia Distribution Center (VDC), issued a one-time bid (Contract ID: KD/VDC/LAUNDRY DETERGENT/03-23) for the procurement of liquid laundry detergent. The solicitation was posted on March 20, 2023, with a response deadline of March 23, 2023, targeting a single, specific procurement of laundry items. The bid process followed the Commonwealth of Virginia's procurement regulations, requiring vendors to submit proposals that comply with specific product specifications, delivery requirements, and quality standards. Vendors were expected to provide detailed pricing information, with prompt payment discounts potentially factoring into the award determination. The VDC reserved the right to place additional orders under the contract within 30 days of the initial award at the original unit price. Evaluation criteria appeared to focus on pricing, product qualification, and compliance with the VDC's Special Terms and Conditions documented in the July 2019 guidelines.

The contract opportunity did not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, though the Commonwealth of Virginia's general terms and conditions typically include provisions for small and micro businesses certified by the state. Today's Office Solutions Inc. was identified as the apparent award winner, with a bid price of $7,896.00 for the laundry detergent procurement. The solicitation did not provide comprehensive details about the exact quantity of laundry detergent required or any specific infrastructure integration requirements. No incumbent vendor information was definitively established beyond the winning bidder. The procurement appeared to be a straightforward, one-time purchase without indication of a multi-year contract or recurring procurement cycle. The budget range was effectively set by the winning bid of $7,896.00, though no explicit budget constraints were outlined in the available documentation.
