Rescue Disinfectant

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the supply of Rescue Concentrated, a one-step disinfectant cleaner and deodorizer containing Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP), for use in the County's Pet Resources Department at veterinary practices and shelters. The procurement requires suppliers to provide the product in four formats: 55-gallon drums (four per pallet), 1-gallon containers, ready-to-use wipes (160-sheet containers), and ready-to-use 1-quart spray bottles, with delivery required within seven days of purchase order issuance to 440 N. Falkenburg Road, Tampa, Florida 33619, during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST). The product must eliminate animal-related viruses including Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper Virus, Enterococcus, and ringworm while reducing equipment corrosion and providing environmentally sustainable cleaning solutions, and bidders must demonstrate recent experience providing substantially similar services with non-substitutable Rescue Concentrate products. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications for a two-year contract period with no guaranteed minimum purchase volume, and the contract will be available to all members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under identical terms and conditions. Electronic bids must be submitted through the County's Euna Procurement system by April 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time with no late submissions accepted, and questions regarding specifications must be submitted through Euna Procurement's messaging system no later than ten calendar days after solicitation issuance, site visit, or pre-bid conference, whichever is later.

No set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are specified in the solicitation documentation provided. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials, and no existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are noted. Bidders must complete mandatory compliance documentation including a Substitute W-9 Form for tax reporting purposes, a Drug-Free Workplace Certification demonstrating compliance with Florida Statute 287.087, and a Certificate of Liability Insurance naming Hillsborough County as an additional insured on all General, Auto, and Aircraft Liability policies with at least 30 days' notice required prior to cancellation or modification; notably, no bid, performance, or payment surety bonds are required. Suppliers are encouraged to enroll in the County's direct deposit program for electronic ACH payment processing by completing the Direct Deposit Authorization Form with verification documentation, though this is optional. The estimated project value for this two-year contract is $145,200.00, with all freight charges to be borne by the contractor and delivery prices quoted free-on-board to the specified Tampa location.
