Mattress Cores - CCi

The Colorado Department of Corrections is requesting quotes for foam mattress cores under DQ 2027-0046 (Modification 1), with quotes due August 21, 2026 at 4:00 PM MST and a virtual public quote opening on August 21. The service location is the Mattress Shop at Fremont Correctional Facility in Canon City, Colorado.

The scope calls for 3,375 units of foam mattress cores in either 3" × 30" × 76" or 78", or alternatively 6" × 30" × 76" or 78". Bidders are invited to propose various foam types, density specifications, and fire safety approaches; specifications for foam density, fire performance testing, and material durability remain flexible. The CDOC seeks materials resistant to fire and liquid exposure and is open to reviewing multiple fire performance test options, including detention-specific tests such as ASTM F1870. Pricing must be all-inclusive of delivery and installation with no separate reimbursement for freight. Bidders must be registered in CORE (Colorado's vendor registration system) and on Bidnet Direct.

The initial contract term runs through June 30, 2027, renewable for up to four additional one-year periods for a maximum five-year term. No actual order quantities or dollar amounts are guaranteed. Pricing must remain firm during the initial term; the CDOC may allow annual price increases not to exceed 2.5% for subsequent fiscal years if both parties agree. Award will be made to the bidder whose acceptable quote is determined most advantageous to the CDOC, with price as the primary consideration, though sample quality and lead time for delivery may also be evaluated.

All awarded contractors must complete CDOC Enhanced Criminal Background Investigations within 30 days and comply with facility security requirements. Standard insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability at $1 million per occurrence and $1 million general aggregate, Workers Compensation for all non-owner employees, and crime insurance at $1 million if employees access state money or property. Written inquiries were due August 14 at 2:00 PM MST; responses were posted August 17. A Notice of Intent to Award is expected by August 25, with Purchase Order execution anticipated by August 31.
