Pack N Play for Safe Sleep

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of Pack 'n Plays to support safe sleep programs across the state, targeting jurisdictions including Alachua County and Glencoe CDP. The solicitation seeks competitive pricing for approximately 10,000 Pack 'n Plays during the initial one-year contract term, with potential renewals for up to three additional years and an estimated 15,000 Pack 'n Plays per renewal period. The DOH intends to make a single award to the responsive, responsible bidder offering the lowest grand total price, which must comprehensively cover procurement, shipping, and delivery of Pack 'n Plays to designated locations throughout Florida. Bid submissions are due by October 24, 2024, at 3:00 pm ET, with the DOH reserving the right to adjust estimated quantities based on need and funding availability. Vendors must provide unit pricing inclusive of product procurement, shipping, and replacement of any non-conforming or defective units, with unit prices taking precedence in case of mathematical errors.

The ITB does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations. The contract appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the specified requirements for Pack 'n Play procurement and delivery. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement involves an initial quantity of 10,000 units with potential annual renewals for up to 15,000 units, suggesting a substantial contract value. The DOH will evaluate bids primarily on pricing, with the lowest grand total price being the key selection criterion. The contract structure allows for a one-year initial term with options to renew for three additional consecutive years, providing potential long-term business opportunity for the successful bidder. No incumbent vendors or specific technology integration requirements are mentioned in the available documentation, leaving the opportunity open to both established and new vendors in the market.
