This procurement is restricted exclusively to certified Local Small Businesses — a decision-flipping eligibility constraint that eliminates non-qualified bidders.

The sheltered-market set-aside requires vendors to be headquartered in Shelby County, Tennessee with gross annual sales below SIC category limits, independently owned and controlled by Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area residents who are U.S. citizens. All bidders must submit a copy of their Local Small Business certification with their bid; failure to do so results in bid rejection or non-conformance.

The specification calls for units manufactured to MLGW Material Description #38-6498 (dated August 10, 1990) with specific manufacturer reference ELASTIMOLD 2701A4-CS812 (UNPUB). Pricing is quoted on a per-unit basis, FOB Memphis, Tennessee (prepaid and allowed). Pricing must be not less favorable than those extended to other customers for similar articles in similar quantities, and the seller must warrant that prices are complete with no additional charges for shipping, packaging, taxes, or other miscellaneous costs without express written MLGW consent. Minimum invoice payment terms are 30 days.

Bidders must be registered as suppliers with MLGW and must access the procurement through MLGW's iSupplier Portal or submit hardcopy bids with buyer permission. Shipment is to NC03 SR 85 Ship Receive at 1060 Tupelo Street, Memphis, Tennessee 38108-2423. The seller is responsible for all costs associated with bid preparation and must comply with all federal, state, and local laws, including provisions concerning foreign adversary companies and fair labor standards.
