Lamps, Fluorescent and Incandescent

The City of Newark, New Jersey is seeking bids for Bid #2021-57, a procurement opportunity for fluorescent and incandescent lamps through the ProcureNow e-Procurement Portal. The contract aims to establish a two-year supply agreement for 83 different lamp and lighting product line items, including LED, metal halide, compact fluorescent, and incandescent lamps from manufacturers such as Sylvania, Universal Lighting, and Topaz Lighting. The bid was released on September 22, 2021, with a strict submission deadline of October 7, 2021, at 10:15 am, after which no electronic bids will be accepted. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, reserving the right to reject bids, waive informalities, and adjust contract quantities based on actual requirements. All proposed lamps must meet American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standards and be compatible with 120 and 277-volt electrical systems, with the City retaining discretion to evaluate the equivalence of alternative brands.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the document, the bid specifies that the contracted vendor must maintain reasonable quantities of products on hand and be prepared to fulfill electric lamp orders exclusively through this contract. The procurement does not disclose a specific budget range or total contract value, instead structuring pricing with a unit quantity of one for each line item, measured as "EACH" or "CARTON/CASE" depending on the product type. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are identified in the available documentation. The contract appears designed to provide the City of Newark with a flexible and comprehensive lighting supply solution, focusing on ensuring consistent access to high-quality electrical lamps across various specifications and applications. The two-year contract term suggests a strategic approach to managing the city's lighting procurement needs with predictable pricing and vendor performance expectations.
