Soap & Sanitizer System

PURPOSE

To ensure full compliance with federal, state, and local procurement regulations, Birdville Independent School District (BISD) is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for the provision of a standardized soap and hand sanitizer system. Products will be procured through BISD Distribution Center and distribute to campuses and departments districtwide.

The District has budgeted approximately $102,957.20 for the annual contract, based on 2024–2025 expenditures. This estimate does not include the one-time districtwide replacement of all soap and sanitizer dispensers, which is anticipated to increase costs for the initial implementation year.
BISD seeks proposals that provide cost-effective solutions while meeting or exceeding performance standards for soap and sanitizer systems.

AWARD NOTICE

BISD reserves the right to award this contract to a single vendor if deemed in the District’s best interest.

SCOPE OF WORK

The District is considering the PURELL® ES10 (or ES8) Automatic Dispenser and PURELL® CS4 Manual Dispenser systems. Depending on cost and District needs, only one package will be selected. Alternate systems are welcome, provided they meet or exceed the performance standards outlined in this solicitation. Alternates must be submitted on the line item that is most similar to the proposed item (i.e., do not submit a manual push-style dispenser for a line item designated for an automatic dispenser).

Installation under this contract will include all District facilities, consisting of:

During the initial installation completed in 2016, the District purchased approximately 1,700 soap dispensers and 600 hand sanitizer dispensers. These quantities are provided as a reference for estimating the scope of work and may vary based on current facility needs.
The selected vendor will be responsible for the installation of all new dispensers and the removal and replacement of existing soap and sanitizer systems. Following the initial installation, BISD will maintain a central inventory of replacement dispensers, soap, and sanitizer refills at the BISD Distribution Center to support campuses and departments as needed.
The vendor will also be required to provide training to designated District staff on proper refilling, maintenance, and operation procedures to ensure consistent system performance across all locations.
Soap and sanitizer supplies will be replenished regularly to maintain adequate stock levels. Annual quantities listed in the bid line items are based on historical usage and are provided for estimation purposes only. BISD does not guarantee minimum or maximum purchase amounts; actual quantities may vary depending on District needs, funding, and operational requirements.
