Non-Digital Amazon Gift Cards Southwest Virginia Community College

The Virginia Community College Shared Services Center is soliciting bids on behalf of Southwest Virginia Community College for 350 non-digital Amazon gift cards valued at $50 each, with bids due November 5, 2026. Delivery to the college is required by November 13, 2026. The solicitation carries no set-aside or preference program. Its addendum states that small business subcontracting plans are not applicable, which supersedes the subcontracting-plan requirement in the original terms.

Suppliers must furnish and deliver the cards and verify that all 350 are activated and immediately usable. The supplier coordinates delivery, and direct shipment from an approved gift card supplier to the college does not require prior written consent under subcontracting provisions. Bidders should propose a number of calendar days to meet the November 13 deadline. The commodity code is 03723 (greeting and gift cards), and the solicitation is numbered 130702. The cards are intended for community college students in various programs.

Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on net prices, with unit prices and grand totals required. Bids must be on the official state form, carry firm unit prices for the contract period, and remain valid for 30 days. Bids must not be mathematically or materially unbalanced. The contract results in one purchase order, with delivery free on board to specified locations. Vendors must register in eVA and pay a transaction fee of 1% per purchase order, capped at $500 for DSBSD-certified small businesses or $1,500 for other businesses. Required insurance includes commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Invoices are due within seven days of receipt of Commonwealth payment. A signed addendum acknowledgment must be attached to the bid in eVA. Inquiries go to Megan Mills, Lead Buyer Specialist, at the Shared Services Center. The addendum's question deadline of October 27, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local time has passed.
