Plumbing, irrigation parts & supplies

The Elk Grove Unified School District in Sacramento County, California, is soliciting bids for Bid #811-25/26, seeking a comprehensive supplier of plumbing and irrigation parts and supplies for its Maintenance and Grounds Departments. The initial contract term will run from November 19, 2025, through November 18, 2026, with potential extensions for two additional one-year periods, creating a maximum three-year contract opportunity. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the EGUSD Online Bonfire Procurement Portal by October 24, 2025, at 4:00 P.M. PST, with deliveries to be made to two district locations in Sacramento. The district requires potential vendors to demonstrate comprehensive business capabilities, including company history, references, and compliance with various legal requirements. Evaluation criteria will include the bidder's ability to provide a wide range of plumbing and irrigation supplies, competitive pricing, potential catalog discounts, and adherence to district specifications and regulatory requirements.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned. Bidders must comply with several key requirements, including providing valid criminal records summaries for employees who might interact with students, submitting a non-collusion declaration, and maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage including $2,000,000 in commercial general liability. An interesting feature of this bid is the "piggyback" option, which allows other school districts to potentially utilize the same contract terms under Public Contract Code Sections 20118 and 20652. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the district reserves the right to award the contract to a single bidder or multiple bidders and will consider potential price adjustments during renewal periods based on documented manufacturer increases. Vendors must also complete a detailed information disclosure form, provide taxpayer identification documentation, and certify compliance with various legal and regulatory standards.
