On-Call Painting, Plaster, and Drywall

The State of Kansas Department of Administration, Office of Procurement and Contracts is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB Event Number EVT0010766) for statewide on-call painting, plaster, and drywall services to be provided to state agencies and eligible political subdivisions on an as-needed basis. The solicitation seeks multiple contractors to establish a statewide contract for indoor, outdoor, or combination painting, plaster, and drywall projects, with bidders able to specify whether they seek consideration for all project types or specific services such as painting only. Qualified contractors must submit hourly labor costs for painting, plastering, and drywall work, which may vary based on worker experience and standing, and must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience with preference for a workforce of 4-5 years' experience under supervision. All contractors must possess appropriate licenses and insurance coverage, obtain necessary permits, and provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for work completed Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on an F.O.B. destination, prepaid basis with net 30-day payment terms. Pricing shall remain firm for the entire five-year contract period extending from the date of award through March 31, 2030, with the State intending to periodically re-release this IFB to refresh the vendor pool. The bid closing date is April 28, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST, with written questions due by April 28, 2026; the delivery due date for bid responses is May 3, 2026. No pre-bid conference or site visit is scheduled.

Bidders claiming preference under disabled veteran-owned business, minority-owned business, or women-owned business categories must provide proper supporting documentation. All responses must include a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue, a completed Immigration Reform and Control Act certification form, a Sexual Harassment form, and a Boycott of Israel form. Bidders may offer pricing to political subdivisions under the same contract terms, though the State bears no responsibility for payments owed by political subdivisions. A 1% administrative fee on all purchases must be paid quarterly, and quarterly reports detailing sales by agency and items sold are required. Under $25,000 purchases may be awarded to a single contractor without additional competition solicitation, and no bid guarantee is required. The State reserves the right to accept or reject any bids and waive minor deviations. Interested parties may contact Linda K. Norris at 785/296-0882 or linda.norris@ks.gov for procurement inquiries.
