The contract aims to establish a competitive, low-bid award process, primarily evaluating price, product quality, vendor reputation, and conformity to specifications.

The contract size is estimated between $50,000 and $60,000, with delivery to WCPSS’s central location in Raleigh, NC, within 30 days after receipt of each purchase order, FOB destination. The contract incorporates comprehensive agency-specific clauses and North Carolina statutes, emphasizing strict compliance with laws governing employment verification (E-Verify), background checks under the Lunsford Act, conflict of interest policies, and gift prohibitions. It mandates that all personnel involved in deliveries undergo sexual offender registry checks, with annual certifications required. The agreement stipulates that all modifications or clarifications must be made via written addenda from WCPSS, and that all products must meet safety and environmental standards. Payment terms are net 30 days, with provisions for procurement card payments, and no specific federal FAR clauses are incorporated. The contract emphasizes ethical standards, participation encouragement for minority and small businesses, and WCPSS’s right to inspect facilities prior to award and during the contract term. Vendors must submit one signed original proposal and one electronic copy on a flash drive by August 27, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, addressed to Wake County Public Schools, with proposals clearly marked and delivered physically; electronic or fax submissions are not accepted.
