T0121 Breakaway U-Post Sign Supports

The State of New Jersey, through the Department of the Treasury Division of Purchase and Property, is procuring breakaway U-Post steel sign supports and associated hardware on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Transportation. The contract opportunity covers four groups of products including various sizes and weights of galvanized steel U-Post sign supports, breakaway sign support systems, brackets, anchors, hinges, and steel beams. Vendors must submit detailed pricing on a state-provided spreadsheet and meet technical specifications, including FHWA approval of their offered products. The intent is to award statewide master blanket purchase orders to responsible vendors whose quotes are most advantageous to the State. The contract term will have an initial period with options to extend, and delivery is required within 30 calendar days of order receipt. Bid submissions are due by November 21, 2019, and the State reserves the right to negotiate and request best and final offers.

This procurement does not include any set-asides for small, minority-owned, women-owned, or disabled veteran-owned businesses. The current blanket purchase order contract is being re-procured, but details on the incumbent vendor(s) or contract values are not provided. The State will make awards for each of the four product groups based on the total group price, and the contract allows for cooperative purchasing by quasi-state agencies, counties, municipalities, and schools within New Jersey.
