The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) issued a Documented Quote solicitation for the procurement of metal detection equipment and installation services at San Carlos Correctional Facility in Pueblo, Colorado. The solicitation specifically requires two CEIA USA Ltd Model SMD600Plus/PZ multi-zone metal detectors with 720mm walk-through configuration with no substitutions permitted due to departmental standardization requirements. Bidders must provide comprehensive on-site setup, calibration, and operator training services to accompany the equipment delivery. The submission deadline is May 26, 2015, at 2:00 PM MST, with quotes to be submitted via fax to Kristina Ireland, Purchasing Agent, and all goods and services must be completed by June 30, 2015. Award will be determined based on multiple evaluation criteria including cost, projected delivery dates, equipment quality and security considerations, lifecycle costs, bidder qualifications and experience, and the quality of proposed operator training. Bidders must be registered on the Colorado Vendor Self Service website prior to submission and must provide proof of General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and Workers Compensation coverage before receiving a purchase order.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond based on disadvantaged enterprise status. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation. Delivery terms are FOB-destination, meaning bid prices must include all freight costs, and standard payment terms are Net-30 days after receipt of goods, services, and invoice unless otherwise specified by the bidder. The CDOC encourages prospective bidders to propose payment terms of less than 30 days if accompanied by a discount. The CDOC reserves the right to divide the award among multiple bidders if deemed in the State's best interests. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials, and bidders are responsible for monitoring the Colorado VSS website for any modifications to the solicitation during the open bidding period.
