The solicitation was released on October 11, 2023, with a response deadline of October 19, 2023, at 2:30 pm, and all submissions must be made electronically through the OpenGov Procurement portal. Evaluation criteria include responsiveness, responsibility, and the lowest total bid price, with the county reserving the right to request clarifications or additional information from offerors.

The procurement has a total purchase limit of $50,000, and the county may purchase additional quantities at the quoted unit price within 30 days of award, with potential price extension for up to one year. There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises, but vendors must comply with various terms and conditions, including employment eligibility verification and restrictions on contracting with certain scrutinized companies. Vendors are required to maintain acceptable insurance and provide public records as needed, with all materials to be fully warranted for one year from county acceptance or the standard manufacturer warranty period, whichever is longer. Delivery will be made to Sarasota County General Services in Osprey, Florida, with the specific delivery date to be mutually determined and indicated on the purchase order. The county retains the right to terminate the purchase order under specific conditions, and no additional costs beyond the quoted price will be paid.
