For Shelving and Installation

The State of Tennessee Department of General Services, Vehicle and Asset Management Division, is conducting two separate competitive procurements: one for vehicle wrap materials (Event #32101-13893) and one for vehicle wrap installation services (Event #32101-13887). The materials procurement seeks custom-blended vehicle wrap materials in Tennessee Highway Patrol patrol car colors, with specifications requiring a gloss finish, repositionable adhesive, thickness between 3.2 and 4.7 millimeters, minimum adhesion of 2.5 pounds per inch, and a minimum seven-year performance life; acceptable materials include 3M 1080 film, Avery Dennison SW900 film, or equivalent products delivered in 30-inch by 50-foot rolls. The installation services procurement requires professional installation of vehicle wraps on state-owned vehicles including Ford Explorers, Ford F150s, Ford Mustangs, Dodge Durangos, Chevrolet Silverados, and Chevrolet Tahoes, with capability for additional makes and models, requiring completion of a minimum of six installations per standard five-business-day week on at least three vehicles at a time at 225 Ezell Pike, Nashville, Tennessee. Both contracts are single-award procurements to the lowest-cost responsive bidder meeting all specifications, with initial terms of thirty-six months and options for up to two additional twelve-month renewals, not to exceed sixty months total. Critical deadlines include a pre-response conference for materials on April 29, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time and for installation services on April 27, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time (both via Microsoft Teams and optional); written questions must be submitted by May 4, 2026, for materials and April 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. for installation services; the materials proposal due date is May 29, 2026. Respondents must be registered with the Tennessee Supplier Portal prior to contract issuance, maintain valid Tennessee Contractor Licenses, verify Department of Revenue registration, and submit debarment certifications; all installation contractors must conduct site visits and measurements prior to submitting responses. Pricing must be submitted on an F.O.B. destination basis with taxes excluded, and prices shall remain firm for 365 days from contract award, with subsequent adjustments requiring independently verifiable cost documentation applicable to all customers.

The procurement documents do not identify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or organizational type restrictions. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The specifications do not reference integration with existing infrastructure or technology beyond the standard requirement for state-approved locations and use of state-provided Tennessee Highway Patrol logos and stripes on vehicle wraps. No specific budget ranges or award values are stated in the available procurement documents; the State reserves the right to negotiate with apparently responsive and responsible bidders and may conduct multiple negotiation rounds. The State has established no minimum purchase guarantee and will only compensate vendors for goods or services actually delivered and accepted following purchase order issuance. All goods and services are subject to state inspection and acceptance within a thirty-day period following delivery, with any defective items to be corrected by the contractor at no additional cost to the State. Materials must be delivered within sixty days of purchase order issuance, and the contractor assumes all risk of loss or damage during transit until acceptance by the State; contractors must provide written acknowledgement of manufacturer ship dates within ten business days of purchase order receipt and written confirmation of delivery arrival within two business days.
