Misc. 038 Materials

Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) is requesting quotes for miscellaneous PVC conduit materials under RFQ 1804934 with quotes due September 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. This is a sheltered-market procurement restricted to certified Local Small Businesses (LSBs) located in Shelby County, Tennessee — a decision-filtering set-aside.

The scope consists of four line items of electrical conduit fittings: 14 coupling reducers (6"×5"), 40 transition couplings (PVC to PE conduit, 6"), 20 PVC caps (6"), and 20 bushing reducers (6"×5"). All materials must comply with NEMA TC 3 and ASTM F 512 standards for electrical plastic conduit applications. Bidders must submit LSB certification, signature pages, manufacturer and catalog numbers, and lead time information.

Pricing is per-unit basis, FOB Memphis, Tennessee (prepaid and allowed). Prices must exclude state and local taxes; MLGW provides tax exemption certificates. Additional charges for shipping, packaging, and other ancillary costs are not permitted without express written consent. The seller must warrant that prices are no less favorable than those extended to other customers and agree to corresponding price reductions if prices decrease during the contract term.

The need-by date is October 2, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with shipment directed to NC03 SR 85 Ship Receive, 1060 Tupelo Street, Memphis, Tennessee 38108-2423.
