IFB01292026DEM Reach In Freezers Refrigerators

This solicitation seeks a fixed‑price, one‑year contract (with an optional one‑year renewal) for the purchase and delivery of reach‑in commercial freezers and refrigerators to the Shelby County Board of Education’s Central Nutrition Center. The agency requires specific door configurations, ENERGY STAR compliance, R290 refrigerant, and a minimum of 208‑V power for three‑door units. While the original IFB allowed three approved brands, Addendum I now restricts the purchase to the Traulsen brand and mandates “Dynamic Response Refrigeration Technology.” Vendors must submit a sealed hard‑copy bid (plus a USB copy) by the revised deadline and acknowledge receipt of both addenda. • Quantities: 40 freezers (10 × 1‑door, 20 × 2‑door, 10 × 3‑door) and 20 refrigerators (5 × 1‑door, 10 × 2‑door, 5 × 3‑door). • Technical specs: stainless‑steel, 0 → ‑5 °F, ENERGY STAR, R290 refrigerant, 208‑V for 3‑door units, and Dynamic Response Refrigeration Technology. • Mandatory brand: Traulsen only (per Addendum I). • Submission requirements: sealed hard‑copy bid mailed to Central Nutrition Center, USB copy, completed pricing forms, and all certifications (insurance, non‑discrimination, non‑boycott, etc.). • Contract terms: fixed price, 1‑year term, optional renewal, price‑adjustment limited to CPI‑U or cost increase, 120‑day bid binding period, and liquidated‑damages provisions for non‑performance.
