Vending Machine Services

Gila County is seeking vendors to provide vending machine services through a Request for Proposals issued under solicitation number GIL-RFP-2026-008, with responses due by August 18, 2026. The procurement is administered by the Finance Department located in Globe, Arizona, and is open to all eligible offerors without a specific set-aside. The contract falls under NAICS code 445132 and requires full compliance with federal and Arizona state labor laws, including mandatory adherence to A.R.S. § 41-4401 and 23-214(A), which govern employment verification and worker eligibility. Offerors must certify that they and all subcontractors do not employ individuals who are unauthorized to work in the United States, and the County retains the right to inspect books and records to ensure compliance. Any breach of immigration law obligations constitutes a material violation subject to contract suspension or termination. Offerors must also certify that neither they nor any of their suppliers, subcontractors, or contractors use forced labor involving Ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China, nor procure goods or services produced through such labor. Noncompliance with this requirement, if not remedied within 180 days of notice, triggers automatic contract termination, and failure to disclose known violations within five business days may lead to further penalties. Proposals must include a sealed envelope containing a detailed list of any subcontractor names, addresses, phone numbers, and active Arizona Registrar of Contractors license numbers. Additionally, offerors and their principals must attest that they are not debarred, suspended, or under criminal or civil investigation for fraud, theft, bribery, falsification of records, or other prohibited conduct, and have not had any public contract terminated for cause or default within the prior three years. False statements on any certification may result in proposal rejection, contract termination, fines up to $10,000, or imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. While the scope of services, pricing, period of performance, and inspection criteria are not specified in the provided documents, offerors are obligated to comply with all terms, conditions, and amendments in the RFP. The County encourages responsive, responsible partners aligned with its broader vision of sustainable growth and ethical business practices.
