The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, Bureau of Correctional Industries, is requesting bids on manufacturing parts and supplies supplemental to existing contracts 6100063907 and 6100064509, with bids due August 20, 2026. Vendors already awarded contracts under solicitations 6100066145, 6100063907, or 6100064509 do not need to reapply. The DOC will award contracts by manufacturer brand within each of nine product categories.

The nine product categories are Industrial Sewing Machines & Related Sewing Machinery; Sewing Machine Parts & Consumables; Apparel Production Tools; Apparel Production Materials; Industrial Laundry Equipment Parts; Mattress Production Materials; Printing Press Equipment Parts & Materials; License Plate Equipment Parts; and Metal Fabrication Equipment Parts.

The contract term is two years with options for one-year renewals extending to September 7, 2030, with the final renewal period potentially shortened to align with that end date. Pricing is submitted as a fixed percentage discount off forward-facing website pricing or bidder list price, held constant throughout the entire term and all renewals. All prices are FOB Destination, inclusive of transportation and handling. Suppliers must accept credit card payment for invoices up to $10,000 without passing fees to the Commonwealth. Bids must be submitted electronically through www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us with completed Exhibit 3 Bid Sheet, Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form (BOP-2201), GSPUR89 Reciprocal Limitations Act form, and manufacturer authorization letters for each brand offered.
