The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) Division of Industries is seeking bids for Various Corrugated Products through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #1178, covering eight correctional facilities statewide. The procurement encompasses 156 line items divided into eight separate lots, including corrugated sheets, shelving boxes, hardware boxes, and specialty containers to be delivered to facilities in locations such as Albion, Attica, Auburn, Coxsackie, Eastern, Fishkill, Great Meadow, and Green Haven. Bidders must provide complete pricing that includes all necessary costs for product completion, with no additional charges permitted. The solicitation requires vendors to comply with New York State's Workers' Compensation and Disability Benefits coverage requirements. Bids are due on June 29, 2021, at 2:00 PM, with the contract period running from August 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022, and potential renewal options available. The current contract (PA18003) expires on July 31, 2021, and this IFB is intended to replace the existing corrugated box specifications.

The procurement has no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, with zero percent goals for minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and disadvantaged businesses. The IFB allows for the use of recycled content products and provides technical specifications through attached drawings for the various corrugated products. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation covers a comprehensive range of corrugated product needs across multiple correctional facilities. The procurement supports the DOCCS Division of Industries' ongoing requirements for packaging and storage solutions. Vendors are expected to meet the detailed specifications outlined in the IFB documents, with particular attention to product quality, delivery requirements, and compliance with state regulations. The contract allows for potential renewals, suggesting the possibility of a long-term supply relationship for the successful bidder.
