Paper Towels and Toilet Paper (Bid-Discount)

The City of Tampa is soliciting sealed bids to supply paper towels and toilet paper for its various departments. The contract is a one‑year award (renewable up to two additional one‑year terms) with a “Bid‑Discount” provision that gives certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) a 5 % discount (up to $10,000). Vendors must deliver items within five working days of order receipt, meet quality‑assurance standards, provide warranties, and comply with all City, State, and Federal regulations. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the City may use the next‑lowest bidder if the awardee defaults. The solicitation is conducted entirely through the OpenGov e‑procurement portal, and all questions must be submitted six business days before the bid opening.
