RebidMandSiteVisit*PersonnelLockers-DMA

The State of Louisiana, specifically the Office of State Procurement for the Louisiana Army National Guard's Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMA), is seeking a contractor to procure and install 160 personnel lockers at the Camp Minden facility. The project requires a vendor to supply Hallowell Secure Personnel Gear Storage lockers or equivalent, with specific dimensions of 24" x 18" x 72" and a base drawer measuring 24" x 30" x 18". The lockers must be constructed with 16-gauge side panels, 18-gauge back panels, and include features such as coat rods, wall hooks, door hooks, adjustable shelves, and dual locks. A mandatory site visit is required before bid submission, with interested vendors required to contact Suzanne Bradford at (318) 316-9197 to schedule an inspection. The bid opening is scheduled for November 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST in Baton Rouge, and vendors must submit bids through the LaGov vendor portal. The contract has a performance deadline of October 31, 2025, with work to be completed during normal construction hours of Tuesday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, excluding state and federal holidays.

The procurement offers a preference for Louisiana-based businesses, with additional consideration given to vendors with a minimum 50% Louisiana workforce. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers Compensation ($1,000,000 Employers Liability), Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit). Vendors must be registered in the LaGov system and submit a W-9 form if newly registered. For contracts valued at $25,000 or more, vendors must provide certification of no federal suspension or debarment and be in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with the State reserving the right to reject individual line items. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the scope involves supplying and installing 160 personnel lockers, which suggests a moderate-sized procurement. Contractors must also comply with all site entry requirements at Camp Minden, including obtaining a Contractors pass, providing appropriate personal protective equipment, and adhering to OSHA, NEC, Parish, City, and State regulations.
