Veterinary Food, Medical Supplies and Equipment

The City of Detroit, through its Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the General Services Department’s Detroit Animal Care and Control, is seeking qualified vendors to supply veterinary food, medical supplies, and equipment for a three-year term with two one-year renewal options. The solicitation, identified as 5444902 and posted on May 25, 2026, with a submission deadline of June 24, 2026, mandates full compliance with federal statutes and municipal regulations, including debarment and suspension requirements under 2 C.F.R. Parts 180 and 3000, the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment, and EPA guidelines for recovered materials. Vendors must submit comprehensive documentation including financial statements, notarized affidavits for disclosure of interests and non-collusion, proof of SAM.gov registration, and evidence of insurance coverage with occurrence-based policies and cross-liability clauses. Offerors are required to provide resumes of key personnel, organizational charts, and subcontractor details, with the City retaining the right to approve or reject all personnel and demand replacements without notice. Performance must occur under the terms outlined in Exhibit A, with the City retaining full ownership of all deliverables and conducting inspections at its sole discretion. Special requirements include mandatory adherence to ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type 2 data security standards, immediate notification of any data breaches within ten days, and compliance with federal labor laws including the Davis-Bacon Act. Contractors must use U.S.-produced goods where practicable and incorporate EPA-designated recovered materials as applicable. The contract prohibits the use of inmate labor and requires disclosure of any political contributions exceeding $100,000. While no formal evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award are specified, proposals must be submitted electronically via the City’s Supplier Portal in PDF or other digital formats, and must confirm firm pricing for 120 days. Payment terms are governed by Ordinance No. 42-98, though specific remittance details, accounting codes, or invoicing systems are not provided. The contract includes no standard FAR/DFARS clauses, instead integrating federal statutory language directly into narrative provisions, and contains no defined FOB terms, delivery schedule, or place of performance beyond reference to Exhibit A, which is not included. All contract obligations are enforceable by the City and subject to audit by federal agencies and the Comptroller General.
