Gojo Hand soap and dispensers

Coastal Carolina University is seeking qualified suppliers to provide GOJO hand soap products and dispensers on an as-needed basis under solicitation CCU-9300807, which was posted on July 15, 2026, with proposals due by July 23, 2026. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325620 and is classified as a state and local government (SLED) action with no set-aside designations. All performance and delivery must occur within South Carolina, though specific locations are not detailed. The contract is structured as a fixed-price solicitation, with bidders expected to submit unit pricing for individual items, and the university plans to calculate total estimated contract value over a potential three-year period by multiplying daily or per-unit rates. While the primary focus is on hand soap and dispensers, related procurement documents reference broader service agreements involving event support, indicating potential alignment with existing campus operational frameworks. Proposals must include a signed Cover Page and Page 2 of the solicitation uploaded to the designated supplier portal, and any deviation from the solicitation terms will render the submission non-responsive. Bidders are required to comply with two internal preference programs specific to Coastal Carolina University: the Resident Contractor Preference (RCP), which grants an advantage to local contractors who declare eligibility, and the Resident Subcontractor Preference (RSCP), which offers either a 2% or 4% competitive advantage based on the documented percentage of work performed by in-state subcontractors. For RSCP-4%, proposers must provide a factual basis proving the subcontractor’s work constitutes at least 4% of the total contract value, including detailed descriptions of the subcontractor’s role. No federal representations, certifications, or requirements such as UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic status disclosures are mandated, nor are there formal packaging, inspection, or delivery term specifications outlined. The primary point of contact is Tracy O’Keefe, who serves as the procurement lead and can be reached at tokeefe@coastal.edu. The evaluation methodology and award basis, such as whether it will follow LPTA or trade-off criteria, are not explicitly stated in the available documentation.
