BRONZE TAP SADDLE

Solicitation number 12551, issued by the City of Greensboro, North Carolina, seeks to secure a firm, delivered price for bronze tap saddles. The solicitation was posted on October 15, 2026, with a response deadline of October 21, 2026. Suppliers are advised to submit their bids 24 hours before the closing date to avoid potential service interruptions on the GePS website. The award process is based on identifying the best qualified, responsive, and responsible bidder. A key component of the evaluation is the City of Greensboro Local Preference Policy, which grants a 5 percent point advantage to eligible local bidders who have maintained a significant business presence in Greensboro, High Point, or Guilford County for at least one year. Eligibility is determined by headquarters location, employee base, or gross sales within the local area. If a non-eligible bidder submits the lowest bid, an eligible bidder within 5 percent of that price may be given two business days to match the lowest bid to secure the award. In any conflict between the local preference and the Minority and Women Business Enterprise policy, the MWBE policy takes precedence.
