Safety Frames

The state of North Carolina, specifically the Department of Adult Correction, is procuring OSHA-approved Safety Frames (Hoya Eyeglasses) through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) process. The intent is to award an Agency Specific Term Contract to furnish and deliver the safety frames on an "as-needed" basis to the NCDAC Nash Optical Plant during the contract period. The IFB provides detailed product specifications for 17 different styles and sizes of Hoya Eyeglass frames in various colors. Vendors must submit samples of the exact products being offered by September 16, 2024, and bids are due on September 17, 2024, at 2:00 PM ET. The contract will have an initial one-year term with two optional one-year renewals.

The state encourages HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation, and references will be checked. The incumbent vendor is Hoya Labs of America, Inc. DBA SafeVision, with a prior award contract value of $112,701.00. The state does not guarantee any minimum or maximum amount for this contract, and pricing is requested on the Attachment A Pricing Form. Vendors must be authorized resellers of the offered products.
