Greenville County Procurement Services is seeking proposals for uniforms and accessories for the Greenville County Detention Center through RFP #24078. The procurement opportunity requires vendors to provide a comprehensive range of detention center clothing and equipment, including men's and women's navy horizon pants and shirts, dry release polo shirts, duty and winter jackets, boots, hats, and various accessories such as name tags, badges, chevrons, and duty gear. Proposals are due by April 2, 2024, at 3:00 pm, with an anticipated contract award date of April 19, 2024, and contract negotiations scheduled from April 19 to May 10, 2024. The evaluation criteria will assess vendor responsiveness, previous experience, cost, references, and product quality, with each criterion weighted equally at 20% of the total score. Vendors must submit pricing using the provided proposal sheet and are encouraged to provide alternative clothing and accessories for evaluation by Detention Center Personnel, with all samples to be provided free of charge and returned after review.

The county encourages participation from diverse vendors and requires compliance with the Illegal Immigration Reform Act. Vendors are expected to potentially demonstrate MBE/WBE (Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise) participation as part of their proposal. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the county reserves the right to award the contract in whole or by line item, depending on what is most advantageous to Greenville County. Vendors must provide comprehensive taxpayer information through a Substitute Form W-9 and demonstrate the ability to meet the county's insurance requirements, which typically include comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and statutory worker's compensation coverage.
