ABC and 4 Stone for White Oak River Game Lands

The State of North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is soliciting bids through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish an agency contract for the delivery and tailgate spreading of up to $75,000 worth of ABC Stone and up to $25,000 worth of #4 Stone at White Oak River Game Land located at 270 Hargett Ave, Stella, NC 28582. The total maximum contract value is $100,000, with no guaranteed minimum quantity; award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable bidder under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology. All materials must meet NCDOT or SCDOT ABC standards or Martin Marietta NROC specifications and pass an LA Abrasion test with a maximum wear value of less than 45%. Deliveries must be completed within 45 calendar days of purchase order issuance, using tailgate spreader vehicles only—semi-truck dump trailers are prohibited. FOB Destination terms apply, meaning the vendor assumes all transportation costs and risks until delivery and acceptance at the job site. Vendors must comply with North Carolina-specific requirements including registration with the Secretary of State, participation reporting via HUB Supplemental Vendor Information Attachment D if seeking to meet the 10% Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting goal, and documentation of sustainability efforts under Executive Order 80 and General Statute 143-58.2. Bidders may also submit an Executive Order 50 Price-Matching Request Attachment H to qualify for potential price adjustments if they are North Carolina-based. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Ariba Sourcing Tool by the deadline of May 15, 2026, at 2:30 PM ET, and must include a completed pricing form, signed execution pages, cover letter, and all applicable attachments. No federal FAR clauses apply; instead, the contract incorporates state-specific provisions on subcontractor limitations, conflict of interest prohibitions, inspection and acceptance by the State’s Contract Manager, invoice requirements tied to formal approval, and vendor responsibility for product recalls. Payment will be processed electronically through the Ariba Network only after inspection and acceptance, with invoices required to include the NC Contract Number and Customer Account Number. The designated contract manager for administration is Joshua Street, reachable at [email hidden].
