Vendors must bid on all line items within a group to be considered. The contract term is for 3 years, with options to extend up to 2 additional 1-year terms. Proposals are due by June 7, 2016, and the state has purchased approximately $2.625 million in clothing over the past 3 years under the current contract.

There is no small business or subcontracting set-aside for this procurement. Vendors must be registered with the state and comply with all required certifications and disclosures. The contract will be awarded to the overall responsive and responsible vendor for each group on an "all or none" basis. Pricing must be fixed for the term of the contract, and vendors will be paid only for actual quantities ordered and delivered, with no guarantees of minimum or maximum order amounts. The state reserves the right to procure individual requirements separately during the contract term if deemed in the state's best interest.
