PRE QUAL OF VENDORS FOR CLASSROOM SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT

Palm Beach County is seeking to pre‑qualify vendors who can supply and deliver a wide range of classroom supplies and equipment on a term‑contract basis. The solicitation does not commit the County to a specific purchase volume; instead, it creates a roster of qualified vendors who may be called upon for individual orders of items such as classroom furniture, dramatic‑play toys, motor‑development tools, literacy materials, music resources, outdoor play equipment, science kits, teacher resources, and arts‑and‑crafts supplies. Vendors must be registered in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service system, provide all required certifications, and comply with numerous county policies (EBO, local preference, non‑discrimination, criminal‑history checks, etc.). The initial pre‑qualification deadline is April 21, 2022, after which new vendors may submit at any time to be added to the list. Once pre‑qualified, vendors will receive purchase orders from various County departments and will be paid upon acceptance of delivered goods. • Supplies a broad catalog of K‑12 classroom items (furniture, toys, books, art supplies, etc.). • Term‑contract with no fixed quantity; work is order‑by‑order. • Requires vendor registration in VSS, business tax receipt, and compliance with EBO/S‑M/WBE policies. • Initial submission deadline April 21, 2022 (4:00 PM); ongoing additions allowed. • Payments made only after County inspection and acceptance of goods. • No explicit contract value; individual orders limited to $99,999 per project under EBO rules.
