Components, Programmable Logic Controllers

This procurement seeks the purchase of two Allen Bradley ControlLogix 5580 controllers (model 1756‑L81E) and three Allen Bradley controller modules (model 1756‑EN4TR) for a county’s automation needs. The solicitation was a Quote‑type bid with a maximum aggregate ceiling of $50,000, but only one vendor, Grainger, submitted a responsive quote totaling $18,997.03. The award was made to Grainger, with a required delivery window of 30 days from the quote date. No alternates or other brands were accepted; the quote had to meet the exact specifications and be signed. The contract is small‑scale, falls under a simplified acquisition threshold, and appears to be a straightforward, single‑vendor purchase of programmable logic controller hardware. • Items: 2 × ControlLogix 5580 controllers and 3 × 1756‑EN4TR modules (Allen Bradley). • Vendor: Grainger (sole responsive bidder). • Value: $18,997.03 (well below the $50k ceiling). • Delivery: 30‑day performance window after award.
