Maintenance & operations, trash can liners for warehouse stock

The Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) in Sacramento County, California, is soliciting bids for Bid #804-25/26 to procure trash can liners for warehouse stock through a competitive procurement process. The initial contract term will run from September 24, 2025, through September 23, 2026, with potential extensions for two additional one-year terms. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through the EGUSD Online Bonfire Procurement Portal by August 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM PST, with potential questions to be submitted by August 21, 2025, at 4:00 PM PST. The district historically purchases approximately 3 truckloads of trash can liners annually, with deliveries expected within 4-6 weeks of order placement to their warehouse at 8431 Gerber Road in Sacramento. Evaluation criteria will include delivery performance, product quality, pricing, and the ability to meet specific packaging requirements such as shrink-wrapped shipments on 40"x48" four-way pallets. Bidders must provide samples, complete various appendices, and comply with detailed requirements including criminal background checks and maintaining a drug-free workplace.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with extensive legal and administrative requirements, including providing a valid criminal records summary under Education Code Section 45125.1, which mandates that employees who may interact with district facilities have verified criminal background checks. The district reserves the right to reject any bid and potentially allow other school districts to utilize the contract pricing through a piggyback clause. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests an annual procurement volume of approximately 3 truckloads of trash can liners. Pricing will remain fixed for the initial term, with potential price increases subject to manufacturer documentation and district approval. The bid includes provisions for annual contract reviews and potential extensions, indicating a flexible approach to meeting the district's ongoing warehouse supply needs. Bidders must also provide comprehensive vendor information, including tax documentation, non-collusion declarations, and detailed contact information for account management.
