Household Appliances - Bosch, Maytag, Samsung, Whirlpool

The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services is conducting a competitive procurement under solicitation 05626 to establish multiple contracts for the purchase of new household appliances. The scope includes refrigerators, freezers, ranges, ovens, washing machines, clothes dryers, and dishwashers from four specific brands: Bosch, Maytag, Samsung, and Whirlpool. These contracts are intended for use by Washington state agencies and eligible purchasers across multiple counties. The procurement emphasizes environmental standards, requiring Energy Star certified and eco-friendly appliances in compliance with the Washington Green Initiative and RCW 19.27A. Awards will be made based on a multi-step evaluation process. Bidders must first pass a responsiveness review and a responsibility determination, which includes providing a valid Unified Business Identifier and proof of registration with the Washington State Department of Revenue. Scoring is primarily driven by the highest percentage discount off the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, with additional preference points awarded for compliance with Executive Order 18-03. Main awards are granted statewide, while reserved awards are available for specific counties to certified small or veteran-owned businesses. Contractors are responsible for delivery, which may include inside delivery involving uncrating, installation, and the removal and disposal of all packaging at no cost to the purchaser. All shipping materials and correspondence must be identified by the contract number. Payment terms are set at thirty calendar days from the date of a properly itemized invoice. The contract also mandates strict adherence to civil rights requirements, the maintenance of a technical support hotline for safety incidents, and the provision of annual insurance endorsements.
