Storeroom material: screwdriver & socket

Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLGW), a municipal utility in Memphis, Tennessee, is soliciting quotes under RFQ 1804825-4 for storeroom screwdrivers and sockets, with responses due November 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The solicitation is restricted to invited suppliers, and suppliers may respond to selected lines, with multiple responses permitted.

The RFQ requests three 7/16-inch tip screwdrivers with 12-1/8-inch blades (Item 0826164) and ten deep 1/2-inch drive, 6-point, 9/16-inch chrome-finish sockets (Item 0826686). Approved manufacturers for these items are PROTO, Snap-On Tools, S.K. Tools, and Armstrong. Bidders must use MLGW's bid forms, include a signed signature page, and enter manufacturer names and catalog numbers for each line in the "Note to Buyer" field. Alternate products outside the approved list require datasheets, and bidders must note lead times.

The RFQ designates no set-aside. It references MLGW's sheltered market program for Local Small Businesses, which may apply to purchases under $100,000 if reasonable expectations exist for three or more competitive LSB offers. Both line items require delivery by November 30, 2026. Pricing is FOB Memphis, Tennessee, with freight prepaid and allowed. Prices must be complete, with no added charges for shipping, packaging, labeling, taxes, storage, insurance, or other costs without MLGW's express written consent. Payment processing requires a minimum of 30 days after invoice receipt. The contract is governed by Tennessee law and MLGW's standard terms, including nondiscrimination, legal compliance, and its supplier diversity program.
