The Louisiana Office of State Procurement has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for plumbing parts specifically for the Louisiana State Penitentiary (DOC-LSP) located in Angola, Louisiana. The solicitation, identified as RFx Number 3000025322, seeks comprehensive plumbing components across 53 line items, including PVC pipes, fittings, valves, toilets, and related accessories. Quantities for individual items range from 4 to 1,000 units, with specific requirements for brand, dimension, and technical specifications from manufacturers like Charlotte Pipe, Coburns, and Sloan. The bid allows for equivalent products, requiring vendors to provide detailed technical information for each item. The procurement method indicates the state will award the contract on an individual basis to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder(s) meeting all specifications, with the state reserving the right to reject individual line items. The bid is scheduled for public opening on September 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with vendors able to submit electronic responses through the LaGov vendor portal or non-electronic responses to the Office of State Procurement in Baton Rouge.

The solicitation includes several vendor preference provisions that provide competitive advantages to certain bidders. Louisiana-based vendors can receive up to a 10% cost differential for Louisiana-produced products, and US-manufactured products can receive up to a 5% differential. Vendors must be registered in the LaGov system and include a W-9 form if newly registered. The bid incorporates standard state procurement terms, including compliance with civil rights laws, accessibility requirements, and federal clauses related to anti-kickback, clean air and water acts, and non-discrimination provisions. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the extensive line item list suggests a potentially significant procurement value. The contract will be awarded to vendors who can meet the technical specifications and provide competitive pricing, with the state maintaining flexibility to select the most advantageous bidders across the multiple line items of plumbing parts and accessories.
