Sealed bid: brackets & luminaires

The Tennessee Department of General Services, the City of Nashville, and the State of Tennessee are soliciting sealed bids for brackets and luminaires (lighting fixtures and mounting hardware) with bids due September 1, 2026. The source does not clearly delineate which issuing body is primary or whether these are three separate procurements or a single multi-jurisdictional solicitation; the attachments reference the State of Tennessee, the City of Nashville, and the Tennessee Department of General Services, but the relationships among them and the unified or separate nature of the bid opportunities are not specified in the source material.

Pricing shall be submitted on a unit basis for each line item, with total bid amounts calculated by multiplying unit prices by specified quantities. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specification and technical requirements. Delivery must occur to designated locations in Tennessee within the timeframe outlined in the bid documents.

The solicitations may include set-asides for small businesses or other state-designated categories under Tennessee procurement regulations, though no specific set-aside or preference program is explicitly named. Prevailing wage provisions may apply. Bidders must comply with all state and federal requirements and provide evidence of capacity to meet delivery timelines and quality standards.

Site visits and pre-bid conferences may be available for vendors seeking clarification on specifications prior to bid submission, though no specific dates or procedures are detailed in the source. The contract term and any renewal options are contingent upon the successful bidder's ability to meet delivery schedules and performance requirements. Questions due date and other timeline details are not specified in the source material provided.
