Storeroom material: cutters

Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW) is requesting quotations for storeroom material cutters under an RFQ restricted to Locally Owned Small Businesses (LSBs), with quotes due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. This is a sheltered-market procurement — only certified LSBs are eligible to compete.

The scope comprises three line items: 12 asphalt cutters (3-inch blade, 1-1/8-inch hex, 6-inch shank, 14-inch under collar); 22 asphalt cutters (5-inch blade, 1-1/8-inch hex, 6-inch shank, 11-inch under collar); and 28 bolt cutters with insulated fiberglass handles (11-inch handle length, 18-inch overall length, capable of cutting up to 5/16-inch reinforcement steel). All items have a need-by date of September 17, 2026.

Respondents must submit LSB certification with their quote, provide manufacturer and catalog number in the "Note to Buyer" field, include line-level lead times, and submit data sheets if quoting alternate products. Pricing is the sole evaluation criterion. Shipment is FOB Memphis, Tennessee, with freight prepaid under applicable allowance terms. Payment requires a minimum of 30 days after invoice receipt.

Responses are evaluated on price only, with no other cost factors considered. MLGW reserves the right to waive minor irregularities, cancel for convenience or lack of funding, and terminate for default or cause. Contract terms are governed by Tennessee law with dispute resolution in Shelby County courts. The buyer is Jeanine Spivey-McNeary in the MLGW Purchasing Department.
