Description
The Alabama Department of Youth Services (DYS) is issuing an Invitation‑to‑Bid to establish a statewide master agreement for the procurement of men’s student clothing for three DYS campuses (Mt. Meigs, Autauga, and Vacca). Vendors will submit percentage‑discount bids off publicly‑available market prices for a defined list of clothing items (underwear, shirts, athletic wear, pants/shorts, socks, and pajama bottoms). The contract is a 12‑month term with the possibility of up to four additional 12‑month extensions, and multiple vendors may be awarded per line item based on the highest discount offered. Bidders must be registered in Alabama Buys, provide E‑Verify documentation, and be prepared to supply samples on short notice if requested.
• Supplies a broad catalog of men’s apparel (boxers, T‑shirts, sweatshirts, pants, etc.) for youth in state custody.
• Evaluation based solely on the percentage discount off market price; up to three bidders may be awarded per line item.
• Requires compliance with standard state procurement terms, including E‑Verify, vendor disclosure, and potential price audits.
