WHELEN EDGE LIGHT BAR

The County of Hawai‘i, through its Purchasing Division and under the oversight of the Hawaii Fire Department, is soliciting quotations for the procurement of a WHOLEN EDGE LIGHT BAR, identified by solicitation number R2604711. The request is open to vendors who must submit responses electronically via the OpenGov Procurement Portal by the specified deadline of May 2, 2026. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 335132, indicating it relates to the manufacturing of electrical lighting equipment. The place of performance is in the state of Hawaii, with delivery required to a designated location as specified in the contract, under F.O.B. destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all costs and risks until the goods arrive at the designated site. Payment will be processed by the County of Hawai‘i Purchasing Division at 25 Aupuni Street, Suite 1101, Hilo, HI 96720, with payment authorized only after delivery and formal acceptance of the goods by County personnel. The award will be made based on best value to the County, considering both cost and technical merit, without adherence to a lowest price technically acceptable approach. Contractors must comply with several mandatory certifications and requirements tied to the contract value. For procurements exceeding $25,000, offerors must obtain tax clearance through the Hawai‘i Compliance Express system and submit a certification regarding compliance with wage and labor standards. If the estimated contract value exceeds $100,000 and adequate price competition cannot be demonstrated, the offeror must submit a Certificate of Cost or Pricing Data; failure to provide this when required results in disqualification. The contract includes special provisions requiring adherence to all applicable federal and state anti-discrimination laws, mandatory mutual agreement for any contract modifications, and prompt reporting of any legal inconsistencies between contract terms and statutory requirements. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery location, with the County retaining sole authority to judge compliance with specifications and quality standards, without reference to external standards such as ANSI or ASTM. Attachments referenced in the solicitation include Exhibits C and E for Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond respectively, though no full text of these exhibits or detailed packaging, marking, or evaluation factor specifications are present. The procurement is governed by Hawai‘i Revised Statutes Chapter 103D and Hawai‘i Administrative Rules Title 3, and all contractual obligations must align with County-specific procurement policies, which may replace or supersede
