The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is conducting an Invitation to Bid (RFx Number 3000024775) for the Department of Corrections (DOC) to procure 480 specialized 3-N-1 Parka Jackets from 5.11 Tactical. The procurement specifically requires black Style #48358 jackets with precise customization, including an embroidered Louisiana Probation & Parole Patch on the left front pocket and reflective "POLICE" lettering on the detachable back panel. Jackets will be distributed across multiple DOC Probation & Parole district offices, with sizes ranging from Extra Small to 4X-Large. The bid is structured as an all-or-none award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting exact specifications, with a proprietary purchase requirement limiting submissions to the exact specified brand and model. The bid opening is scheduled for June 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with electronic and physical submission options available through the LaGov vendor portal. Bidders must be registered in the system and comply with comprehensive submission guidelines detailed in the online bidding instructions. The solicitation includes several vendor preference provisions, specifically allowing for Louisiana-produced products within 10% of the lowest bid. Vendors must comply with civil rights, accessibility, and anti-discrimination requirements, including adherence to federal clean air and water act clauses. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the procurement allows for potential contract renewals up to 36 months. Interested vendors must navigate specific submission requirements, including potential sample submissions and specification reviews. The state reserves the right to reject individual line items and maintains strict evaluation criteria focusing on responsiveness, responsibility, and precise specification alignment. Payment will be processed through electronic methods, including LaCarte procurement cards for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for larger transactions. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the solicitation does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises beyond the Louisiana vendor preference clause.
