The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) Solicitation Number 5400028020 for client household furniture across four regional service areas: Midstate, Upstate, Pee Dee, and Coastal regions. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide, deliver, setup, and dispose of packaging for various furniture items including twin, full, and queen-sized beds, mattresses, foundations, bedroom furniture, living room furniture, and dining sets. The bid is structured into four distinct lots corresponding to the regional service areas, with vendors able to bid on individual lots. Each lot contains identical item categories but with varying quantities, and award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for each lot. All furniture must be new, with delivery required within 14 business days of receiving a purchase order. The solicitation includes specific model numbers or approved equivalents for furniture items, with unit prices to include setup, delivery, and packaging disposal. Key dates include a bid opening on 04/17/2025 at 3:00 PM, with all questions due by 04/10/2025.

The contract is estimated to run from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2028, with an initial one-year term and two potential one-year renewal options, for a maximum contract life of three years. The solicitation includes provisions for South Carolina Resident Vendor Preference and End-Product Preferences, allowing vendors to claim preferences if they meet specific criteria. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bidding process appears open to various vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. The procurement allows for competitive bidding across multiple regional service areas, potentially accommodating both small and large vendors capable of meeting the furniture specifications. Though specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the multi-year contract and comprehensive furniture requirements suggest a substantial procurement opportunity for qualified vendors. The solicitation emphasizes competitive pricing, timely delivery, and meeting precise furniture specifications as key evaluation criteria for vendor selection.
