The contractor must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and statutory Workers' Compensation coverage, with prime contractors required to self-perform at least 20 percent of the total contract work.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive bid from a qualified, responsible bidder, subject to prevailing wage requirements and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance.

The procurement includes Small Business Preference consideration, offering a 5 percent preference for certified small businesses and an additional 5 percent preference for non-small business bidders committing to 25 percent subcontracting with certified small businesses. The Military Department has waived Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) requirements due to insufficient time but actively encourages DVBE subcontractor participation. Bids must be submitted as a single lump-sum quotation inclusive of all costs, with no incumbent vendors or current contractors identified in the solicitation materials. The contract is subject to drug-free workplace certification and compliance with standard state contracting requirements. No specific budget range or award value has been published in the available documentation, requiring interested bidders to submit competitive pricing based on the detailed specifications and requirements outlined in the full IFB document.
