The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management department is soliciting re-quotes under RFQ 27-P-00077 for Kraft trash boxes and recycle boxes used at city events, parades, and outside activities, with the listing showing a November 17, 2026 due date. The listing carries a Hillsborough County, Florida jurisdiction. Bidders must be licensed, permitted, and certified to do business in the State of Florida. No set-aside or preference program appears in the source.

Trash boxes are 18x18x36 inches in Kraft material, with the City of Tampa logo and design on all sides. Recycle boxes (Kraft) are a separate line item. The City anticipates orders of up to 1,000 trash boxes and up to 500 recycle boxes, and it reserves the right to order any quantity annually. Delivery is due 30 to 45 business days after receipt of order, with FOB Destination terms and all shipping, handling, and freight included in quoted prices. The City may award by division, line item, or aggregate total, and it may add or delete items at its discretion. Awards are issued by City of Tampa purchase order after official award authorization.

Quote prices must remain valid for a minimum of one year. Vendors must submit proof of insurance before award and comply with E-Verify. Bidders must also comply with the City's Ethics Code, non-discrimination provisions, and Florida Public Records Law, including documented procedures to claim exemptions for proprietary information. Payment is made approximately 30 days after receipt and acceptance of materials, correct invoices, and required subcontractor payment forms. A Florida tax exemption certificate covering 2022 through 2027 is attached, so vendors may quote without Florida sales tax on taxable items. The RFQ file states no specific closing date, so the November 17 date should be confirmed with the issuing office before submission.
