Office Supplies

The City of Lompoc, located in Santa Barbara County, California, has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ #2025-RFQ-023DW) seeking competitive pricing for a comprehensive set of basic office supplies. The procurement encompasses 42 distinct office supply items, including pens, pencils, highlighters, staplers, paper clips, binder clips, notepads, sticky notes, scissors, tape dispensers, folders, binders, and related standard office materials. Vendors are required to submit individual and case pricing for each item, with the option to quote prices for individual items or potentially on an "all or none" basis. The RFQ mandates specific vendor qualifications, including maintaining current insurance coverage levels: Workers' Compensation Insurance at $1,000,000, Automobile Liability Insurance at $500,000, and General Liability Insurance at $1,000,000. Vendors must also possess a current City of Lompoc Business Tax Number and provide an acceptable insurance certificate with endorsements naming the City as an additional insured. The submission deadline is set for October 24, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with payment terms established at Net 30 and a local sales tax rate of 8.75%.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The RFQ does not mention incumbent vendors or require integration with existing technology infrastructure. Vendors are required to complete a "Registered Proposer Information Sheet" to receive potential clarifications and addendums, and must submit a Conflict of Interest Form and Non-Collusion Affidavit as part of their proposal package. While no specific budget range or total contract value was provided, the procurement appears to be a standard municipal office supplies contract. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive pricing, including any applicable bulk discounts or shipping fees, and to specify brand names or product specifications. The City reserves the right to award items separately or as a whole, providing flexibility in the contract allocation process. Interested vendors must carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with the detailed insurance, tax, and administrative requirements outlined in the RFQ.
