Bidders must specify the manufacturer and catalog number in the note to buyer field; alternate products require submission of a data sheet.

Pricing is quoted on a per-unit basis with complete pricing including shipping, packaging, labeling, and insurance; FOB terms are Memphis, Tennessee, prepaid and allowed. Delivery is needed by September 11, 2026, to MLGW's facility at 1060 Tupelo Street, Memphis. The contract will be executed as a standard purchase order.

Bidders must hold current LSB certification and submit a completed signature page (in blue ink) and foreign adversary certification. Payment processing requires a minimum of 30 days. Tennessee law governs the contract, with disputes litigated in Shelby County courts.
