Each unit must measure 4-1/2 inches by 4-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches and be constructed from .060-inch stainless steel with welded and sanded corners. The design requires a 2-inch tab centered on the lid featuring a 7/16-inch drilled hole to accommodate a utilities padlock, a 4-inch stainless steel piano hinge spot-welded along the lid’s edge, and four 1/4-inch mounting holes on the back for secure attachment. Only the approved manufacturer part number TRITONNES-KYBX (listed also as TRITON NES-KYBX) is acceptable; no substitutions or alternative brands are permitted. Delivery is required to Nashville, Tennessee, with the place of performance specified as 1214 Church St., Nashville, TN 37246, and vendors must indicate their earliest delivery time in calendar days after receipt of order. The solicitation closes on August 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM local time, and all responses must be submitted electronically via the Bid Center portal. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the delivery location, with compliance determined strictly against the provided dimensional, material, and construction criteria, as no external standards such as ASTM or MIL-STD are referenced. Payment and invoicing procedures are not detailed, nor are contract clauses, certifications, packaging requirements, or preservation methods specified. The procurement contact is Alan Martinez, Buyer I, reachable at [phone hidden] or [email hidden]. No contract value is stated due to the absence of unit pricing or cost data, and while delivery timing is a consideration for award, there is no explicit indication of whether the selection will be based on lowest price technically acceptable or another evaluation method.
