T2515 Clothing Notions, Yarns, and Threads - New Jersey Department of Corrections

The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury Division of Purchase and Property is issuing a bid solicitation (#21DPP00577) on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Corrections for a Blanket Purchase Order contract for Clothing Notions, Yarns, and Threads. The solicitation includes 8 categories of products such as Clothing Closures and Fasteners, Elastic, Thread, Yarn, and Packaging Supplies. Vendors may bid on one or more categories, but are not required to bid on all. The intent is to award multiple Blanket Purchase Orders to responsible vendors whose quotes conform to the solicitation requirements and are most advantageous to the state. The contract will have an initial term with the option to extend. Quotes are due by February 17, 2021, and the state may conduct oral presentations during the evaluation process.

The solicitation includes a partial small business set-aside for Category 8 - Packaging Supplies. Vendors must be registered and approved as a qualifying small business by the quote due date to be eligible for this set-aside. Pricing is to be submitted as a percentage discount or markup off the vendor's published price list or catalog, and the state will consider volume discounts but they will not be a factor in the evaluation. The current T2515 Clothing Notions and T1247 Threads and Yarns contracts are being reprocured and combined under this solicitation, but the state has not provided any details on incumbent vendors or award values.
