Roofing supplies

The South Carolina Department of Corrections Purchasing Branch issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) solicitation for roofing supplies, targeting Richland County. The procurement seeks three specific line items: 90 drums of Type 3 asphalt, 40 rolls of granulated mop down modified (white), and 20 aluminum roof coatings. All items must be new and delivered to SCDC-Facilities located at 4322 Broad River Road in Columbia, South Carolina, within eight weeks of purchase order receipt. The solicitation opening date was set for December 23, 2021, at 10:00 AM, with award notification scheduled for December 30, 2021, to be posted on www.procurement.sc.gov. Bidders were required to submit sealed offers via mail or email, with questions needing to be received five business days prior to the opening. The award would be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with unit prices taking precedence over extended prices. Evaluation criteria included compliance with submission requirements, possession of a current South Carolina vendor number, and potential preference claims for South Carolina or United States end-products.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed, the solicitation allowed for resident vendor and resident contractor preferences for bidders meeting statutory requirements. Bidders could claim preferences if they qualified, and nonresident taxpayers might be subject to a 2% withholding requirement unless registered with the South Carolina Department of Revenue. The contract was structured as a fixed-price arrangement, with payment to be processed via electronic funds transfer following invoice submission and supply acceptance. Notably, this particular solicitation received no bids, resulting in a Statement of Non-Award, with the Department of Corrections indicating an intention to republish the solicitation at a later date. No specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement was managed by Buyer Brittany Driggers, with Ruthie H. Bishop serving as the Director of Procurement.
