Certified Perennial Three-Way Blend Overseed

The solicitation for Certified Perennial Three-Way Blend Overseed under number 2026-QQ-780 is a streamlined Quick Quote procurement by Sarasota County’s Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources department, targeting a single deliverable: 560 bags of 50-pound certified perennial ryegrass overseed to be delivered to Twin Lakes Park in Sarasota, Florida. The award will be made strictly on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with no bids exceeding $50,000 allowed, and no award will be made if no responsive and responsible offers are received within the price cap. All bids must include a certified seed label verifying product composition, and no alternate products are acceptable unless formally approved by the County with supporting documentation. Delivery is FOB destination and must occur within ten calendar days of purchase order issuance, with shipments restricted to weekday hours between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM; the County retains the right to reject any non-compliant delivery at the supplier’s expense without compensation. Technical acceptability hinges on adherence to specifications, including product newness, certification, labeling, and timely delivery, while no insurance, licenses, or certifications are required at submission time beyond the seed label and reference forms via the OpenGov portal. No UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are needed, reflecting the acquisition’s status under the simplified acquisition threshold. Payment terms, invoicing methods, and accounting details are governed by the County’s General Terms and Conditions of Purchase Orders, though no specific payment office or electronic system is named. The bid submission deadline is July 16, 2026, at 6:30 PM, and all proposals must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov Procurement portal; no physical submissions are accepted. Packaging, marking, barcoding, and environmental preservation requirements are not specified, and while a one-year warranty from acceptance date or manufacturer’s warranty (whichever is longer) is required, it is not formalized in a clause with checkboxes. The contract is intended to be a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with no line items, options, or contract modifications anticipated.
