Various Aggregate Material-Duplin County

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a one-year agency-specific term contract for various aggregate materials to be delivered to the Duplin County Maintenance location. The procurement seeks to acquire specific quantities of aggregate materials, including 2,500 tons of ABC Aggregate, 500 tons of Class B Stone, 7,500 tons of No. 57 Aggregate, and 500 tons of No. 78 M Aggregate. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the Vendor Portal (eVP) by June 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, with all transportation costs included in the total bid price. The contract requires delivery within 20 consecutive calendar days after receipt of order, with deliveries accepted Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Vendors must comply with NCDOT's Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures and provide documentation of approved resource quarries or pit facilities. The evaluation will likely focus on pricing, compliance with specifications, and the ability to meet delivery requirements.

The solicitation emphasizes participation from small, minority, physically handicapped, and women-owned contractors, with a specific goal of 10% utilization of diverse firms as 1st or 2nd tier subcontractors. Vendors must complete several attachments, including a pricing form, HUB supplemental information, location of workers certification, and a statement of financial condition. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the total volume of aggregate materials suggests a significant procurement value. The contract allows for potential extension subject to vendor concurrence, providing opportunity for continued business relationship. Interested vendors must demonstrate financial stability, ability to meet specified delivery timelines, and commitment to diverse contractor participation. The procurement is specifically targeted at aggregate material suppliers with the capability to service the Duplin County Maintenance location, with a focus on creating an inclusive and competitive bidding environment.
