Scdmh client furniture region C

The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for client furniture procurement in Region C, covering thirteen counties including Clarendon, Sumter, Lee, Kershaw, Florence, and others. The solicitation requests unit pricing for twenty-two furniture line items, encompassing bedroom sets (twin, full, and queen configurations), bedroom accessories, dining and living room furniture, and sofas. All items must be new, with specific model numbers or approved equivalents, and vendors must include setup, delivery, and packaging removal in their unit prices. The procurement requires items to be delivered within ten business days of purchase order receipt at SCDMH client residences. Key submission dates include a question deadline of March 29, 2022, at 12:00 p.m., and offer submission deadline of April 5, 2022, at 3:00 p.m., with award scheduled for April 11, 2022. The contract term is three years with automatic annual renewal options, and award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

Offerors must be registered as South Carolina vendors and complete a comprehensive responsibility questionnaire addressing past project experience, contract disputes, termination history, manpower capacity, business licensing, and financial resources. The solicitation allows for vendor preferences, including South Carolina Resident Vendor Preference, South Carolina end-product preference, and United States end-product preference by line item, subject to statutory requirements. Nonresident contractors are subject to specific South Carolina withholding tax requirements. While no specific contract value is identified, the procurement allows for flexible ordering based on actual client placements. Vendors must be prepared to provide furniture across multiple SCDMH centers on an as-needed basis, with quantities varying by center. All contract terms are governed by South Carolina law, with potential dispute resolution through the Chief Procurement Officer or the Court of Common Pleas for Richland County.
