Vendors must submit sealed proposals (hard copy and USB) by November 9 2026, and must meet extensive safety, accessibility, insurance, background‑check, and E‑Verify requirements.

Cobb, c/o CFO Bobby A. Smith, with one hard copy and one USB copy; questions due Oct 29 2026. • Location constraints: Fort Gordon military base – non‑DoD personnel need NCIC background check and visitor pass. • Evaluation: “Best overall value” – quality, safety, warranty, and compliance will be weighted.
