Wrestling Mats

The Cobb County School District (CCSD) is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ) Q26046 for the procurement, delivery, and installation of Resilite Flex 3 Wrestling Mats across multiple schools in the district. The mats must be regulation size, measuring 38' x 38' and 1 5/8" thick, with specific requirements including meeting ASTM F355 shock absorbency standards, custom markings, and school logos. No product substitutions will be permitted, and the mats are to be delivered and installed at over 100 schools and facilities within the Cobb County area. Key procurement dates include a deadline for written questions on October 22, 2025, with answers posted on October 23, 2025, and a quote submission deadline of October 27, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET. The district will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor meeting all specifications, with pricing to remain firm for one year from the award date and the potential for contract renewal at the district's discretion.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing, including all delivery and installation charges, with no additional fees permitted. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating $1 million in Commercial General Liability and Commercial Auto Liability, with Cobb County School District named as an additional insured. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the RFQ allows vendors to provide pricing per mat and propose fee structures for potential future purchases, such as percentage discounts below MSRP or cost-plus markup models. Vendors must complete multiple compliance documents, including Georgia Security & Immigration Compliance forms, Lobbying Activities Disclosure, Debarment Certification, and a Vendor Questionnaire, demonstrating their legal and operational eligibility. The district retains the right to accept or reject any part of a submitted quotation or to award to multiple vendors, providing flexibility in the procurement process.
