Description
The City of Worcester issued an RFQ (bid number 8432-J5) for the procurement of custom‑branded apparel—including Nike polos and various jackets—with specific embroidery and screen‑print logo dimensions, as well as inspection services. All items (over 1,300 shirts and dozens of jackets) must be bid as a single aggregate package; the award is based on the lowest total price that meets the performance specifications. After reviewing bids, the city awarded the contract to DRNs Corp, as the leading bidder (Sinatra Uniforms) failed to satisfy the required specifications. The contract requires delivery within 21 days of order receipt (or 12 days if no delivery date is supplied) and includes a one‑year warranty on all goods.
• Scope: Supply of 17 line‑item apparel (polos and jackets) with left‑chest embroidery (4×3.5 in) and back screen‑print (8.5×5 in).
• Procurement: Open RFQ, award to lowest aggregate bidder; all prices must be FOB Delivered Destination and include shipping.
• Requirements: One‑year performance guarantee, prompt‑pay discount only if ≥30 days, compliance with MA anti‑discrimination statutes.
