Lumber for WISe Facility

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is requesting sealed bids on treated pine lumber, treated plywood, and cedar panels for delivery to its WISe Facility at the Dan River Prison Work Farm, with bids due September 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET via the Ariba Sourcing Tool. North Carolina resident vendors may request a price-matching opportunity under Executive Order #50 and G.S. 143-59.

The scope encompasses specific quantities and grades of pressure-treated lumber, treated plywood, and kiln-dried cedar siding with defined dimensions and specifications. Estimated annual quantities are provided for bidding purposes only. Delivery is to 987 Murray Road, Blanch, NC 27212, within sixty calendar days of purchase order receipt, or longer for custom-sized or made-to-order products. All pricing must include shipping, freight, handling, and associated fees on a free-on-board destination basis.

The contract term is one year from the effective date, with State options to renew for up to two additional one-year terms. Award will be made to one or more qualified vendors based on lowest responsive bid that meets specifications, with evaluation also considering past performance, references, and financial documents. The State reserves the right to make separate awards by individual line item or reject all bids if deemed in its best interest.

Bid pricing shall remain firm for one hundred eighty calendar days from contract effective date. Price adjustments thereafter are permitted no more than once every six months and only with written Agency approval supported by documentation of manufacturer or market price increases. All awarded vendors must register with the NC Secretary of State within ten business days of notification and comply with E-Verify requirements. Written questions are due September 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET, with State responses due September 10, 2026. Invoices cannot be paid until inspection and acceptance of goods occur.
