The procurement involves providing agency-branded apparel items with specific embroidery requirements, including three standardized SCDA logo designs in predetermined sizes and thread colors.

Key deliverables include a comprehensive catalog of apparel items across men's wear, ladies wear, outer wear, and promotional gear from various brands like Nike, Adidas, Carhartt, and Port Authority. The procurement timeline includes a pre-bid conference on May 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, with written questions due by May 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Offers must be submitted online by June 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with award notification scheduled for June 13, 2025. Evaluation will be based on lowest responsible and responsive bidder, considering unit prices for apparel, embroidery fees, portal build costs, and annual maintenance expenses. The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does mandate that bidders maintain an office and distribution warehouse within South Carolina. The contract term is five years, spanning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, with potential automatic annual renewals. Vendors must demonstrate the capability to deliver ordered items within thirty days and provide a portal that allows adding or removing employees within three business days of notification. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the procurement requires comprehensive reporting features for SCDA administrators and employee login functionality using SCDA email addresses. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range, but the annual employee clothing allowances suggest a potential annual spending range between $39,750 (265 employees at $150) and $53,000 (265 employees at $200), not including portal development and maintenance costs. The document indicates that all items must be new, of suitable quality, and comply with SCDA's detailed embroidery style guide.
