T2432 Recycled, Paper- Napkins, Towels, Toilet Tissue for Distribution and Support Services

The State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, is issuing a Bid Solicitation (#19DPP00408) for the procurement of various recycled janitorial and dietary paper products, including napkins, toilet tissue, and paper towels, for the State's Department of the Treasury, Distribution and Support Services (DSS). The intent is to award multiple blanket purchase orders for five categories of items, with the State seeking to award one blanket purchase order per product line to a qualifying small business vendor. Vendors must submit quotes by May 1, 2020, and the State will evaluate submissions to determine the responsible vendors whose quotes are most advantageous. The blanket purchase orders will have an initial three-year term, with the State retaining the option to extend. The bid solicitation provides detailed product specifications, delivery requirements, packaging guidelines, and estimated order quantities. Pricing must be provided on a per-case basis, with vendors required to disclose the percentage of post-consumer recycled content in their products.

This is a full small business set-aside procurement, with the contract open to vendors registered as qualifying small businesses with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services by the quote due date. The State reserves the right to test contracted items to ensure compliance with requirements. This is a reprocurement of an expiring contract, and vendors are cautioned not to rely on data from the prior contract. The State has not provided any information on the incumbent vendor(s) or the potential award value of the contract.
