About this opportunity
The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, specifically the Division of Industries (Corcraft), is seeking a vendor to supply soap pellets for the Washington Correctional Facility in Comstock, NY. The procurement is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) #1825 for approximately 864,000 pounds of soap pellets annually, manufactured from 85% beef tallow and 15% vegetable oil fatty acids. Bidders must submit product samples with a Certificate of Analysis, with a minimum order of one truckload (approximately 45,000 pounds) and delivery completed within 14 calendar days of order receipt. The contract period spans five years, from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2030, with bids due on August 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Pricing includes the option for quarterly adjustments after the initial three-month period, limited to a maximum 10% increase based on tallow and coconut oil price changes. Evaluation criteria include product quality, pricing, delivery capabilities, and compliance with state procurement requirements.
The contract does not include any specific set-aside designations, with zero goals for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Minority-Owned, Women-Owned, or Disadvantaged Business enterprises. Clean Products, LLC appears to be the incumbent or primary vendor, having submitted the only substantive bid at $1.01 per pound, resulting in a total potential contract value of $872,640.00. Bidders must complete a Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire, provide proof of insurance, submit workforce utilization reports, and comply with New York State's minority and women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) requirements. The procurement is open to all NYS counties, with delivery FOB to the Washington Correctional Facility. Vendors must meet specific packaging and shipping requirements, and the contract aims to ensure a consistent supply of high-quality soap pellets for the facility's soap manufacturing operations.
