Description
The Cherokee Nation’s Indian Child Welfare Department is seeking vendors to supply a comprehensive list of household items—including mattresses, appliances, furniture, cleaning supplies, and miscellaneous accessories—in specified quantities. Bidders must provide products that meet or exceed the listed specifications, include a completed mandatory bid response sheet, and submit proof of TERO certification if they wish to receive Indian‑ownership preference. The award will be made to the lowest‑priced, most‑responsive bidder, with Indian preference applied to certified firms. All bids must be received by the deadline, and no withdrawals are permitted within thirty days after the bid opening.
• Supplies required span three categories: core household items (e.g., mattresses, dressers, air‑conditioners), cleaning/kitchen supplies (e.g., Lysol, Tide Pods), and furniture/miscellaneous (e.g., tables, benches).
• Quantity totals exceed 500 individual items, requiring a vendor capable of handling bulk procurement, shipping, and delivery logistics.
• Preference is given to firms with current TERO certification, though non‑certified firms may still bid but will be ranked lower.
• Submission must be emailed or mailed to the designated contact by July 30 2026, 5 p.m.; late bids will be rejected.
