2026-SWB-32 Hand Tools, Hardware Supplies, Paint and Paint Supplies

The Sewage and Water Board of New Orleans issued a solicitation to procure a range of supplies—including hand tools, hardware items, paint, and related paint accessories—for its operations. Four vendors submitted bids, with total proposed contract values ranging from about $30 k (for paint only) to $562 k for the full suite of supplies. The bid opening occurred on June 30, 2026 at noon, and the tabulation posted the same day. No award decision was disclosed in the document, and the solicitation details (specifications, contract length, delivery terms) were not included. This opportunity is primarily a supply‑focused contract, suitable for companies that manufacture or distribute the listed product categories and can meet the procurement requirements of a municipal water and wastewater authority. • Scope covers four distinct sections: hand tools, hardware supplies, paint, and paint supplies. • Competitive environment includes four bidders; one vendor only bid on the paint section, indicating possible niche opportunities. • Total potential contract value is modest (under $600 k), making it appropriate for small‑ to medium‑sized suppliers. • No pre‑bid meeting, site visit, or Q&A deadline was provided, so bidders must rely on the solicitation documents for clarification.
