Traffic Beads

The State of Nevada Department of Administration Purchasing Division is seeking competitive bids for a one-year open term contract to supply glass traffic beads for use with waterborne traffic paint. The contract will cover the entire state, with estimated quantities provided for multiple Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) district locations. The detailed technical specifications include requirements for appearance, roundness, embedment coating, specific gravity, moisture content, refractive index, and gradation. Bidders must provide pricing on an FOB destination basis, and the contract prohibits price increases during the term. Awards may be made to multiple vendors, and the State reserves the right to request samples from successful bidders. The contract term is from the date of award through August 31, 2019, with the option of up to three one-year extensions.

The Invitation to Bid does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the solicitation does not provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The solicitation does not specify a budget range or award value, but the requirement is for a one-year open term contract to supply glass traffic beads statewide.
