The Kansas Department of Administration's Office of Procurement and Contracts is seeking bids for storage containers on behalf of Larned State Hospital through Invitation for Bid (IFB) Event EVT0010076. The procurement specifically requests double door storage containers in two mandatory sizes: 20' x 8' x 8.5' and 40' x 8' x 8.5', with vendors permitted to offer additional sizes. Bidders must submit pricing as a percentage discount off MSRP list prices, with the discount percentage remaining constant throughout the contract term. The containers must be wind and watertight, feature double doors on both ends, and include lock boxes. The contract is structured as an indefinite quantity agreement with no guaranteed volumes, spanning from the award date through January 31, 2030. Key deadlines include January 10, 2025, for submission of clarification questions, and January 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM for bid submissions. Delivery requirements mandate coordination during regular working hours (8:00 AM-5:00 PM, Monday-Friday), with delivery costs to be included in pricing.
The procurement allows for bidder preferences, including opportunities for Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses and participants in the Kansas Bidder Preference Program. All bidders must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue, and political subdivisions are permitted to utilize the contract. Payment can be made via State of Kansas Procurement Card (P-Card) with no additional charges allowed for card usage. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, vendors are encouraged to provide optional pricing elements such as monthly rental rates and relocation fees. The solicitation is open to multiple types of vendors who can meet the technical specifications and compliance requirements. Political subdivisions and state agencies can potentially leverage this contract, suggesting a broad potential utilization across Kansas governmental entities. The procurement appears designed to provide flexible storage container solutions with consistent pricing and comprehensive service options for state facilities.
