The Louisiana State Procurement Office has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitation number 3000025475 for music equipment for the Department of Corrections, targeting delivery to the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, LA. The procurement encompasses 14 line items of musical instruments and related equipment, including a Korg Kronos music workstation keyboard, Roland Fantom keyboard bundle, X-style keyboard stand, bass guitar, electric bass gig bag, bass combo amp, 2-channel bass head, drum set, instrument cables, boom cymbal stands, and a cymbal set. The bid is scheduled to be opened on 09/29/2025 at 2:00 PM CST, with vendors required to be registered in the LaGov system to submit bids electronically or by fax. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements, with the state reserving the right to reject individual line items. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing that includes transportation, freight, inside delivery, and debris removal, and must specify brand, item number, and detailed specifications for each proposed item.

The procurement allows for potential contract extensions up to two additional 12-month periods, with a total contract term not exceeding 36 months. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated, the solicitation provides preferences for vendors with a Louisiana workforce comprised of at least 50% Louisiana residents and offers advantages for Louisiana-produced and United States-manufactured products. Bidders must comply with various federal and state regulations, including civil rights laws, ADA accessibility requirements, and E-Verify provisions. The state will process payments electronically through either the LaCarte procurement card (for purchases under $5,000) or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Vendors are required to include all applicable taxes in their pricing, with state agencies exempt from state and local sales taxes. Though no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the equipment list suggests a significant procurement value for musical instruments and related accessories intended for the Department of Corrections.
