The contract pertains to the procurement of tulip bulbs for delivery in fall 2026, specifically requiring arrival during the first week of October 2026, under a one-time purchase arrangement. A total of 43,000 bulbs are specified across five distinct groups—Group A through Group E—with fixed quantities of 17,000, 7,000, 11,600, 4,000, and 3,400 units respectively. All bulbs must be shipped in prepackaged mixtures adhering to a precise bloom period distribution: 34% early, 33% mid-season, and 33% late bloomers. Each package must be labeled with the color and variety composition, though no standardized labeling formats, materials, or dimensions are outlined. Bulbs must be new, unused, and not refurbished, with a minimum viability to bloom for two to three seasons, and must measure 12 cm in circumference and mature to a height of 15–22 inches. Delivery is F.O.B. destination to the West Virginia General Services Division’s new warehouse at 320 Michigan Avenue, Charleston, WV 25305, with an alternate receiving point at 112 California Avenue, Building 4, 6th Floor. Payment terms specify payment in arrears via Electronic Funds Transfer or P-Card, with no invoice system like WAWF or IPP mandated. Contractual clauses include provisions for pricing model selection, insurance requirements, warranty obligations, liquidated damages (with selectable inclusion), prohibition of used items, assignment restrictions, and compliance with state confidentiality and licensing laws. All clauses follow West Virginia internal numbering and were last revised on August 24, 2023. The solicitation closed on August 11, 2026, with submissions accepted exclusively through the wvOASIS portal; paper bids may be emailed to GSDBids@ww.gov. No pricing data is provided in the solicitation, resulting in an unquantified contract value. Vendor certifications for size status, socioeconomic designation, UEI, or CAGE code are required but not completed in the issued document. Evaluation criteria, source selection methodology, and federal acquisition regulation clauses are absent; the procurement operates entirely under state-level statutes and procedures. Contractual performance and inspection occur at the delivery location, with acceptance authority resting solely with the agency.
