DOTD PVC & Duct(S45)

The solicitation for DOTD PVC & Duct (S45), numbered 3000026541, issued by the Louisiana Transportation and Development Agency, invites bids for materials subject to state-mandated procurement preferences. Bidders must comply with Louisiana Revised Statutes R.S. 39:1604(H)&(I) and R.S. 39:1604.7, which provide a 10% price preference for products manufactured, assembled, or processed in Louisiana and a 5% preference for those produced in the United States. To qualify for these preferences, offerors must certify that the specified line items were produced within the required geographic boundaries and submit documentation verifying the location of manufacturing and the composition of the workforce involved, with at least 50% of the production workforce being Louisiana residents. No federal acquisition regulation clauses apply; the entire compliance framework is rooted in state law rather than federal standards. The solicitation requires submission of U.S. and Louisiana Preference Certifications but does not specify technical product specifications, packaging standards, inspection protocols, or quality control metrics beyond asserting that preferred items must be equal in quality to non-preference alternatives. The place of performance is Louisiana, and the deadline for responses is August 3, 2026, with submissions due by 5:59 a.m. No contract value, pricing details, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or payment instructions are provided in the solicitation. There is no mention of formal evaluation criteria for award, nor are contract administration details such as COR/COTR information, invoicing systems, or accounting codes included. The proposal format is not prescribed beyond the mandatory certifications, and no guidance is given on submission method, file types, page limits, or electronic portal usage. The solicitation does not require Small Business status, UEI, CAGE codes, or other federal socioeconomic certifications, and no clauses related to security, conflict of interest, or contract options are referenced. Primary contact for inquiries is Adrian Stallone, reachable via phone or email, and the solicitation is accessible through the Louisiana Online Procurement System.
