Description
The City of Philadelphia’s Department of Human Services is seeking a sole‑product, micro‑purchase of 100 fire‑resistant detention‑grade mattresses with built‑in pillows and a transparent, fluid‑resistant vinyl cover. The mattresses must meet rigorous physical and flammability performance standards (ASTM D3574, ASTM E662, ASTM E1354, 16 CFR Part 1632, etc.) and use CR SAFGUARD® foam. The solicitation is an “open market” micro‑purchase (type code MI) with an informal bid flag, meaning vendors submit a quoted price for the specified item only; no alternate products are allowed. The award will be made to the lowest‑priced, responsive vendor who can provide the required test certifications and meet the city’s vendor compliance (Consent & Authorization Agreement, insurance, tax‑status).
• Required product: 100 institutional mattresses (27 in W × 76 in L × 3 in D) with built‑in pillow, transparent fire‑retardant cover, CR SAFGUARD foam.
• Must provide independent test reports showing compliance with density, IFD, compression set, tensile/tear strength, flex‑fatigue, and flammability criteria.
• Sole‑product solicitation – no alternate models accepted; exact specifications must be quoted.
• Micro‑purchase ceiling (per terms & conditions) is $45,000 (adjusted annually), so total contract value will be below this threshold.
