Toilet Tissue, Standard Roll

Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) #251-26-057 seeking competitive bids for standard roll toilet tissue procurement on an "as needed" basis. The procurement is specifically for custodial supplies, with an estimated annual requirement of 967 cases of toilet tissue. Proposals will be publicly opened on September 10, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with an initial contract term from award date through August 31, 2026. WCPSS reserves the right to renew the contract for up to two additional one-year terms, contingent upon 60-day written notice prior to contract expiration. Vendors must submit comprehensive product details including sheet size, ply count, roll quantity, color, and packaging specifications. The evaluation criteria will focus on the most responsive and responsible low bid meeting all specified requirements, with potential for awarding to a single vendor or making partial awards. Delivery will be Free-On-Board (FOB) to WCPSS Central Receiving, with a mandatory 30-consecutive-calendar-day delivery timeline after purchase order receipt.

The current incumbent vendor for this contract is Riverside Paper Supply, which previously provided 967 cases of Marcal 6022 toilet tissue at $48.70 per case. While the solicitation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, vendors will be required to demonstrate capability to fulfill the contract requirements. The estimated annual procurement value appears to be approximately $47,049 based on the previous year's pricing, though final contract value will be determined through the competitive bidding process. No specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology were mentioned in the procurement documents. Potential bidders should carefully review all specifications and prepare detailed submissions that comprehensively address the technical requirements and pricing structure outlined in the IFB. Vendors must be prepared to provide complete product specifications and competitive pricing to be considered for contract award.
