On-Call for Services and Materials Under $100, 000

Beaufort County is seeking qualification statements from vendors to establish an On-Call list for services and materials under $100,000, with the solicitation targeting a comprehensive range of professional disciplines including automotive services, landscaping, construction, HVAC, electrical work, plumbing, traffic control, and roofing. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) requires vendors to demonstrate direct capability to perform services without relying on subcontractors and provide a current Certificate of Insurance. Evaluation will be conducted on a pass/fail basis, assessing three key criteria: references, scheduling flexibility, and ability to perform services independently. Vendors must specify their qualified discipline(s) and potential pricing discounts from market rates. The proposal is due on Thursday, March 30, 2028, at 3:00 pm EST, with electronic submissions required through the Procurement Portal. The contract will have an initial one-year term with options to renew for two additional one-year terms. Beaufort County will rotate selected vendors to ensure fair participation and reserves the right to reject any qualifications and negotiate with qualified firms.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While the RFQ covers a broad spectrum of service disciplines, it does not provide detailed information about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure. The procurement is structured as an on-call contract with a maximum value of $100,000 per service engagement, allowing flexibility for various project scopes and needs. The county's approach suggests an open and competitive process that allows vendors to submit qualifications throughout the contract period until March 2028. Although specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the solicitation indicates the county's intent to maintain a diverse pool of qualified vendors across multiple service categories. The contract's structure implies potential for multiple awards and ongoing opportunities for selected vendors to provide services as county needs arise.
