Optical Equipment and Repair Service

The Wisconsin Department of Corrections Bureau of Health Services is soliciting bids for comprehensive optical equipment repair and service across 20 sites throughout the state. This procurement seeks a contractor to provide maintenance, repair, cleaning, and potential relocation of optical equipment used in correctional facility health services. The bid requires vendors to demonstrate at least two years of prior experience in optical equipment services and submit relevant professional references. The solicitation's pricing structure is weighted across three components: labor costs for repair/cleaning/moving (60%), travel costs organized by four geographic zones (30%), and shipping and handling (10%). Bidders must provide detailed pricing information including hourly labor rates, zone-specific travel charges, shipping fees, and a parts discount percentage from list price. The bid is due by 3:00 PM CST on April 25, 2019, with the contract anticipated to be a two-year term. The award will be made to the bidder submitting the lowest grand total cost across all bid line items.

The procurement documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The contract opportunity appears open to any qualified optical equipment service provider capable of meeting the technical and geographical service requirements. The asset inventory indicates 34 individual pieces of optical equipment across various correctional facilities, with equipment values ranging from $5,365 to $31,895 and in-service dates spanning from 1987 to 2017. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive equipment inventory suggests a potentially significant service contract. The equipment includes sophisticated medical devices such as tonometers, autorefractors, keratometers, and specialized equipment like the Zeiss Humphrey Field Analyzer. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate capability to service equipment across multiple correctional facilities, which are organized into four geographic zones as illustrated in the accompanying facility map.
