The Louisiana Office of State Procurement has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #3000024664 for plumbing parts to be delivered to the Louisiana State Penitentiary (DOC-LSP) in Angola, Louisiana. The procurement seeks various plumbing materials including copper and PVC pipes, flushometers, faucets, gas cocks, washers, shower heads, and hot water dispensers across 17 distinct line items with specific quantity requirements. The bid covers items such as 10 units of 1-1/2" copper pipe, 25 units of 1/2" PVC pipe, 15 Sloan Royal flushometers, and 100 shower heads. Bidders must be registered in the LaGov system and can submit electronic bids through the vendor portal by the due date of May 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST. The evaluation criteria focus on selecting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all technical specifications, with the state reserving the right to reject individual line items. Vendors must provide detailed technical information including brand, model, material, and size for each proposed item, and pricing must be submitted in U.S. dollars.

The procurement includes several preference provisions that may benefit certain vendors, particularly those with Louisiana workforce or manufacturing connections. Bidders can receive consideration if their products meet specific criteria, such as having a Louisiana workforce comprised of at least 50% Louisiana residents or manufacturing products in the United States. The contract potentially allows for two additional 12-month renewals, with a total contract term not exceeding 36 months. Vendors must comply with various state and federal regulations, including civil rights laws, ADA requirements, and anti-discrimination provisions. Payment will be processed through LaCarte procurement cards for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for larger amounts. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive list of plumbing parts suggests a substantial procurement for the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Fiscal year constraints are noted, with funding potentially unavailable for items not delivered by June 30, which may impact the overall contract value and delivery timeline.
