The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through its Finance and Administration Cabinet and Department of Parks, is issuing a Request for Bid (RFB) for the procurement of sand products to be used on golf courses at multiple Kentucky state parks. The required sand includes USGA specification topdressing sand, kiln-dried sand, bunker sand, and dusting material, with quantities ranging from 25 to 200 tons per park. Vendors may bid on any individual line item, combination, or all commodity lines. Bids must meet detailed specifications outlined in the RFB, including particle size analysis, penetrometer readings, and permeability requirements. Vendors must provide independent lab test reports confirming compliance with the sand requirements and may be required to submit product samples for testing prior to award. The contract will be awarded by line item based on best value, with pricing being the primary evaluation factor. Bids are due by August 16, 2023, at 1:30 PM ET.

This procurement is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-asides or preferences noted, though reciprocal preference for Kentucky resident bidders and preferences for qualified bidders or the Department of Corrections, Division of Prison Industries may apply. Past vendor performance may also be considered in the award. The Commonwealth reserves the right to cancel the solicitation if all bids exceed the available funding, but the specific budget range is not provided. The initial contract term is not explicitly stated.
