Maintenance Supplies

Mckinley County, through the Deming Public School District, is seeking competitive sealed bids for a multi-term contract to provide maintenance supplies, specifically hardware, electrical, and janitorial supplies. The Invitation for Bid (IFB 24-09) is soliciting proposals for an initial one-year contract with options to renew annually for up to three additional years, creating a potential total contract duration of four years. The procurement will evaluate bids using commodity codes 15000, 48500, 32000, 54000, and 28500, with purchases to be made on an "as needed" basis. Bids will be evaluated primarily on the highest percentage overall discount, and the district reserves the right to award to multiple or a single vendor. The bid is scheduled to be opened on October 21, 2024, at 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, with bid submissions due by November 20, 2024, at 3:00 PM Mountain Time. Bidders must complete and submit a Campaign Contribution Disclosure Form and will be subject to debarment checks through Sam.gov and generalservices.state.nm.us.

The procurement offers preferential treatment for certain business types, including an 8% preference for in-state or Native American resident businesses and a 10% preference for resident veteran or Native American veteran businesses with certification from the State of New Mexico. While specific award values are not detailed in the documentation, the contract's multi-year structure and "as needed" purchasing model suggests flexibility in potential contract value. The district will conduct thorough vetting of potential vendors, including mandatory background checks and verification of business credentials. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Interested bidders should carefully review all requirements, including the submission of necessary forms and compliance with state procurement regulations, to ensure eligibility for contract consideration.
