RFB-605-2600000582-1 | Two-Part Silicone Sealant REBID

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Division of Purchases is seeking bids for a master agreement to supply Two-Part Silicone Sealant and Dual Sausage Pneumatic Guns under solicitation RFB-605-2600000582-1, with bids due by May 26, 2026. The contract is a competitive sealed bid process with award based on a best value trade-off, where price carries 95% weighting and delivery timing accounts for the remaining 5%. The estimated quantities are 100 kits of sealant and 25 guns, though these are non-guaranteed estimates and pricing must be submitted by vendors. The base contract term runs through May 31, 2027, with an option for up to four additional one-year extensions, contingent on mutual agreement and potential renegotiation of terms. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, meaning the vendor assumes all shipping costs and risks until goods are received and accepted by Kentucky Transportation Cabinet agencies, including Districts 1–12 and the Division of Maintenance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery location, with the Commonwealth retaining sole authority to reject non-conforming or defective materials. Vendors must comply with Kentucky-specific procurement statutes and submit required affidavits, including one to claim resident bidder status under KRS 45A.110 and another for qualified bidder status under KRS 45A.465, applicable to nonprofit organizations serving individuals with severe disabilities. Bidders must possess a valid Commonwealth of Kentucky vendor code, as federal identifiers like UEI or CAGE are not required. Insurance requirements include a minimum of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate in commercial general liability coverage, with the Commonwealth named as an additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis, and insurers must maintain an AM Best rating of B+ or higher. No contract assignment is permitted without prior written consent, and price increases are prohibited during the first 12 months; vendors must notify the state in writing of any price decreases. Biannual sales reports detailing transactions with state agencies, political subdivisions, and public universities are mandatory. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service portal, with no physical submissions accepted, and failure to include all required certifications or affidavits will result in disqualification.
