This procurement is restricted to certified Local Small Businesses located in Shelby County, Tennessee, with headquarters and gross annual sales below SIC category limits — a sheltered-market set-aside that bars all other vendors from bidding.

The scope covers 11,390 feet (approximately 4,160 lbs.) of bare ACSR wire to be delivered on RM 66.32 reels in compliance with ASTM B-498 and B-232 standards. Quotations must include the manufacturer name and catalog number in the "Note to Buyer" field, lead time information, LSB certification, a signature page, and Foreign Adversary Certification. Pricing is quoted on a per-foot basis with all costs including shipping, packaging, and handling included; delivery is FOB Memphis, Tennessee with freight prepaid and allowed.

This is an invited-suppliers-only RFQ that will result in a standard purchase order. Payment processing requires a minimum of 30 days following invoice receipt. The solicitation is governed by Tennessee law and Shelby County jurisdiction. No contact with MLGW representatives other than the designated buyer, Debby White, is permitted except through authorized channels.
