• Suppliers must be registered in Tennessee’s supplier portal, hold a valid contractor license, provide required insurance, and certify compliance with Buy‑America, environmental, and anti‑divestment statutes.
• Bids are evaluated on lowest responsive cost; the State may award grouped lines per region or individual lines.
