REQUEST FOR QUOTE for Staff Clothing

The Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) is seeking quotes for staff clothing items to be used across multiple juvenile correctional facilities in Lewiston, Nampa, and Saint Anthony. The Request for Quote (RFQ 87) covers 14 line items including baseball caps, polo shirts, sweatshirts, and t-shirts with specific material, color, and size requirements. Each clothing item must meet detailed specifications outlined in Exhibit A, including precise material weights, available colors, and sizing options, with the potential for embroidery and screen-printing featuring IDJC logos and branding. The RFQ requires vendors to submit pricing for all line items, with a 10% price adjustment for screen-printing done outside of Idaho. The solicitation has a response deadline of September 25, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain time, with an initial contract term of one year and potential renewals for up to five years total. The award will be made to the responsive, responsible vendor offering the lowest total cost, and IDJC reserves the right to modify item specifications during the contract term.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the solicitation documents. The RFQ does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged businesses or restrict participation to specific types of organizations. Vendors must comply with the State of Idaho's requirement that the company is not owned or operated by the government of China. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho and IDJC named as additional insureds. The vendor must provide insurance certificates with policies rated A-VII or better and include specific coverage limits. While exact budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the RFQ includes an estimated annual quantity for each clothing item in the price sheet, suggesting a potential annual contract value. Quarterly reporting on purchases by location will be required, and the contractor must provide detailed invoicing and delivery information for the staff clothing items across the specified juvenile correction facilities.
