Wedge Tank Spray Kit

The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) is conducting a competitive bid solicitation for 22 Wedge Tank Spray Kits through the Iowa Management of Procurement and Contracts System (IMPACS). The procurement seeks to establish a one-year contract with potential renewal options for five additional twelve-month periods. Bidders must provide spray kits that precisely meet the specified technical requirements, with any proposed deviations requiring pre-approval through a formal Pre-bid Request for Substitutions form. The solicitation will evaluate bids based on the most advantageous offer, considering factors such as cost, mandatory requirement compliance, proposed staffing, and work performance. Key procurement dates include a bid opening on August 18, 2025, and a bid closure on September 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM CDT, with a public bid opening scheduled via Microsoft Teams. Deliveries will be processed F.O.B. Destination, and the Iowa DOT, as a tax-exempt agency, will issue purchase orders for items as needed throughout the contract period.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The actual number of kits purchased will be contingent upon funding and final DOT approval, with no guaranteed minimum purchase commitment. The solicitation is categorized under commodity codes for pumping equipment and accessories, specifically targeting miscellaneous pumps. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, the procurement suggests a potential annual procurement need for these specialized spray kits. Though a specific budget range is not detailed, the initial order is for 22 units, indicating a moderate-scale procurement with potential for expanded future requirements. Interested vendors should carefully review all specifications and prepare comprehensive responses that demonstrate full compliance with the technical requirements and evaluation criteria outlined in the bid documentation.
