The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property is conducting a competitive bid solicitation (Bid #25DPP01065) for a statewide sporting goods contract covering 23 distinct equipment categories. The procurement seeks vendors to provide comprehensive sporting goods and related equipment, including items for badminton, baseball/softball, basketball, boxing, field hockey, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, pickleball, soccer, tennis, track & field, volleyball, wrestling, swimming, and physical education.

Electronic questions from potential bidders are due by May 9, 2025, and vendors must complete multiple required forms including the Bidder Data Form, Specification Conformance Form, and Standard Procurement Forms Packet to be considered responsive.

This procurement is designated as a full Small Business Set-Aside Contract for Small Business Categories I, II, and III, requiring bidders to be registered and approved with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services by the quote opening date. Qualifying small businesses will be given preference in contract awards, with the state intending to select vendors that provide the most advantageous proposals. While a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant statewide procurement opportunity. Bidders can submit quotes for one, some, or all price lines, providing flexibility in participation. The state will add an Agency-Use Price Line for emergency deliveries and return shipping charges, and vendors must demonstrate compliance with various state regulations including anti-discrimination policies, ownership disclosure, and ethical standards. Previous bid tabulations indicate potential vendors may include United Supply Corp., Commercial Recreation Specialists, S&S Worldwide, School Health Corporation, and BSN Sports LLC, though the current solicitation is open to new qualified vendors.
