Veterinary Supplies

San Bernardino County Department of Public Health is soliciting bids under Invitation to Bid DPHE27-ACC-6563 for veterinary supplies, with questions due November 20, 2026 and bids due December 11, 2026 at 12:00 PM through the County's Electronic Procurement Network (ePro). A 5% local-vendor preference applies to vendors whose principal place of business is located within San Bernardino County boundaries.

The solicitation covers over 800 line items across pharmaceutical medications, injectable solutions, surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, anesthesia supplies, and miscellaneous medical consumables used in veterinary operations, with quantities specified per item. Pricing must be quoted per unit on a Free on Board (FOB) destination basis, with freight priced separately from product pricing. California sales and use tax appears separately on invoices, and federal excise tax must be excluded.

The ITB establishes pricing for up to three years, with a two-year extension available upon written approval by both parties. Payment terms are Net 60 days after acceptance of supplies. Quotes must remain valid for a minimum of 90 days, and contract pricing may be adjusted annually by no more than three percent to reflect inflationary changes, subject to County review and written approval.

Responses to questions will be posted December 2, 2026. The County anticipates issuing a Notice of Intent to Award in January 2027, with contract start anticipated for February 2027. All bids become subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act following that notice. The County reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive irregularities, and conduct pre-award surveys to determine contractor capability and past performance.
