Kitchen Appliances, Q26056

The Cobb County School District (CCSD) has issued Request for Quote (RFQ) Q26056 seeking qualified vendors to supply, deliver, and install kitchen appliances on an as-needed basis. The procurement specifically targets various kitchen and laundry appliances including GE and Danby models such as dishwashers, microwaves, electric and gas ranges, refrigerators, washers, and dryers for district schools and facilities. Vendors must have a location within 30 miles of Marietta, Georgia, and all equipment must be new, installed on the delivery day, and accompanied by operation manuals. Key procurement dates include November 10, 2025, for written questions, November 12, 2025, for question responses, and November 20, 2025, as the quote submission deadline. The district reserves the right to award to multiple vendors, with purchases made on an as-needed basis and no guaranteed quantities, and vendors must provide comprehensive pricing including all shipping, handling, freight, inside delivery, and installation charges without additional fees.

The solicitation includes specific vendor compliance requirements, particularly around the Georgia Security & Immigration Compliance Act, which mandates vendors register with E-Verify or provide appropriate documentation verifying employment eligibility. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including commercial general liability, commercial auto liability, umbrella coverage, and workers' compensation with specific minimum coverage limits. Vendors must complete multiple administrative forms, including an Acknowledgement and Agreement form, Georgia Security & Immigration Compliance Act documents, Certification Regarding Debarment or Suspension, and a Vendor Questionnaire. The initial contract period is one year with prices to remain firm, and CCSD reserves the option for contract renewal at its sole discretion. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement allows for flexible pricing structures, including percentage discounts below MSRP, catalog pricing, or cost-plus markup arrangements, suggesting potential for significant procurement value depending on the district's future appliance needs.
