Sand, Gravel & Limestone - DOC-LSP

The Louisiana Department of Corrections is soliciting bids for supply of sand, gravel, and limestone materials under the Louisiana State Purchasing program, with proposals due July 15, 2026.

The scope covers three primary material categories — sand (including concrete sand and mason sand), gravel (including crushed gravel and pea gravel), and limestone (including agricultural limestone and crushed limestone) — to support DOC maintenance and construction operations statewide. Bidders must meet Louisiana quality standards, including gradation requirements, contamination limits, and moisture content specifications. The contract operates as a master agreement under which the DOC places individual orders based on operational demand, with unit pricing per ton or cubic yard depending on material type and delivery method. Delivery locations span multiple DOC facilities throughout Louisiana, including East Baton Rouge Parish and Baton Rouge City.

The procurement may establish multiple award categories by geographic service region to ensure adequate supplier distribution and efficient delivery. Bidders must demonstrate capability to supply materials meeting state standards and maintain adequate inventory and delivery capacity to meet DOC demand. Contractors are required to comply with specified terms and conditions addressing delivery schedules, quality standards, performance metrics, pricing structures, payment terms, insurance, bonding, and liability. Bids must be submitted electronically through Louisiana's online bidding portal in compliance with procedural requirements outlined in the bidding instructions. Pricing is to be determined competitively based on current market rates and delivery locations.
