Sealed Bids for Bid Packages Due December 1, 2025

The City of Gulfport is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive term contract to supply various construction and utility materials, including limestone, concrete pipes, culvert piping, infield materials, grates and frames, water and sewer supplies, precast concrete manholes, sewage control panels and pumps, and street-marking signs. The procurement is organized into multiple bid groups, with the deadline for submission set for 10:00 am local time on December 1, 2025, at the Office of Procurement located at 1422 23rd Avenue, Gulfport, Mississippi. Bidders can also submit electronically via the city’s designated online portal. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with technical specifications, nondiscrimination policies, and encourages participation by minority- and women-owned business enterprises, although no set-aside or socioeconomic certification is mandated. The contract size is estimated to range between five million and fifteen million dollars, reflecting a significant procurement effort. The bidding process is based on a "lowest and best" evaluation approach, where award will be made to the bid offering the most advantageous balance of price and compliance, rather than solely the lowest cost. While the documents specify submission procedures, bid packaging, and contact information, they do not include detailed FAR clauses, standard federal contract provisions, or specific performance or delivery schedules. The scope of work involves delivering specified materials in accordance with provided specifications, with inspection and acceptance likely occurring at the designated city location, though explicit procedures are not detailed. The procurement process is governed by local policies, and the bid packages are accessible electronically or via email, with no federal-style representations or certifications required from respondents.
