RFQ-FY27-OSSE-DOT Bottle Water Delivery Service BPA (CBE Market Only)

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education, Division of Student Transportation (OSSE-DOT) is establishing a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) under solicitation WS577342 for bottled water delivery services. This agreement is restricted to the Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) market and supports staff at four bus terminals in Washington, DC, that lack access to drinkable water. The contractor is responsible for the rental, installation, and maintenance of thirteen bottom-load water dispensers equipped with hot and cold water capabilities, filter cartridges, and cup dispensers. Deliveries include five-gallon purified water bottles, with an estimated annual volume of 6,240 bottles, and cases of 24-count 16.9 oz bottles on an as-needed basis. Because the delivery locations lack loading docks, the contractor must utilize vehicles equipped with liftgates or hand trucks. The period of performance extends from the date of award through September 30, 2027, with a purchase limit not to exceed 100,000 dollars. The contractor must adhere to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act standards for bottled water and comply with the District of Columbia Human Rights Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Invoicing must be submitted monthly via the DC Vendor Portal. The District maintains the right to inspect supplies at any time to ensure they meet the highest grade of workmanship and quality. Administrative oversight is managed by Contracting Officer Reshtya Sayed and Management Analyst Derrick Hampton.
