REBID for Laboratory Supplies

The City of Asheville Water Department is rebidding an informal bid for a broad range of laboratory supplies and reagents needed for water‑quality testing. Vendors must be authorized distributors of the listed manufacturers and submit unit‑price quotes (including freight) for each item. The contract is a fixed‑price, firm‑rate award for a 12‑month period with two optional one‑year renewals, and the award will go to the lowest responsive unit‑price bid. No total‑quantity pricing is allowed, and all bids must be submitted electronically by the deadline. • Supplies include chemicals, standards, reagents, kits, pipettes, filters, probes, and consumables from manufacturers such as Hach, Ricca, Orion, and Labstrong. • Bidders must comply with NC tax, insurance, E‑Verify, and divestment requirements; subcontracting or assignment requires City approval. • All bids must be signed, include any acknowledged addenda, and be submitted via email to the Purchasing Specialist.
