Description
The City of Alexandria is seeking a vendor to supply new, unused work uniforms for its various departments on an “as‑needed” basis. The contract covers three product categories—Transit Bus Department uniforms (FTA‑funded), general work apparel (shirts, pants, jackets, coveralls, safety gear), and professional wear (dress shirts, polos, blazers, cardigans). All items must meet detailed material, color, and logo‑application specifications, include freight, and be delivered bagged and labeled to each employee. The vendor must also provide alteration services at no extra charge and be able to adjust unit prices if manufacturers notify cost changes. The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, with a focus on minority‑ and disadvantaged‑owned businesses, and must comply with state statutes and applicable federal clauses for the FTA‑funded portion.
• Supply new work uniforms (no rentals) for multiple city departments, with no guaranteed quantities—orders placed “as‑needed.”
• Must meet strict technical specs (fabric, color, City logo embroidery/screen‑print/heat‑press, size extensions, free alterations).
• All freight prepaid, delivery to requesting department, each employee’s package bagged and labeled; price validity 12 months (renewable for another 12 months).
• Vendor must comply with Louisiana procurement statutes, SAM/EPLS debarment check, and for Category I items, all FTA (Buy‑America, Davis‑Bacon, etc.) requirements.
• Preference given to minority‑ and disadvantaged‑owned firms; proof of effort and subcontractor use required.
• Bid deadline May 5 2026 10:00 a.m. CST; questions due April 23 2026 4:00 p.m. CST; invoices paid within 30 days of receipt.
