Doors, Frames, and Hardware

The Washington Department of Enterprise Services is establishing statewide and regional contracts for the procurement of doors, frames, door hardware, locks, and replacement parts, with optional offerings for installation, training, and locksmith repairs. The procurement is divided into two categories: Door Hardware, which will be awarded through up to three statewide contracts, and Doors and Frames, which will be awarded through up to two regional contracts across the Western, Central, and Eastern regions of Washington. The contract term is 48 months starting in 2024, with a potential 12-month extension based on performance metrics. This is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity vehicle where pricing is primarily based on discount percentages off the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price for hardware and the lowest total bid price for doors and frames. Award decisions are based on a best-value trade-off methodology, considering weighted pricing, compliance with technical specifications, and Washington State procurement priorities, such as preferences for firms that avoid mandatory arbitration in employment agreements. Contractors must adhere to strict delivery timelines, with in-stock items required within three business days and out-of-stock items within 14 business days, all shipped FOB destination with prepaid freight. Key compliance requirements include adherence to the Washington State Prevailing Wage Act, civil rights non-discrimination, and the submission of detailed bidder certifications regarding legal status and socioeconomic designations. Performance is monitored through specific technical standards for steel construction and customer service requirements, including a 48-hour response time for customer requests.
