Youth Basketball Jerseys

The City of Ukiah in Mendocino County, California, is seeking bids for a procurement of 1,100-1,200 youth basketball jerseys through a Request for Bid (RFB) E41218. The jerseys must be 100% polyester mesh and fully reversible, featuring two-sided coloration (red and white) with specific design requirements including a logo on the front, team name, and player number on the back. The initial order is scheduled for placement between November 10-14, 2025, with a firm delivery deadline of December 1, 2025. Bids will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on October 24, 2025, at the Purchasing Manager's office located at 411 W Clay St. in Ukiah. Bidders must provide pricing for both initial and small re-order quantities, with detailed specifications for logo placement, screen printing, and jersey customization. The procurement requires submission of jerseys in both youth and adult sizes, with specific screening and packaging requirements.

The RFB includes a local vendor preference policy that provides Mendocino County-based businesses with a 5% bid advantage (up to $2,500) if they meet specific criteria. Payment terms are set at Net 30 upon complete delivery, and the city reserves the right to reject bids, accept separate items, and hold bidders liable for increased costs in case of default. Vendors must maintain jersey logo screens for the duration of the season (3 months), with sponsorship screens kept for 2 weeks into the season. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves multiple jersey sizes and quantities, suggesting a potential contract value that would be significant for local sporting programs. The solicitation appears open to various vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements, with no explicit restrictions on vendor type beyond the local preference incentive.
