The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB 115766) seeking qualified vendors to provide ice merchandiser rental and bagged ice delivery services for facilities located within the Northern Virginia District. This procurement is designed to ensure that VDOT facilities have reliable access to both ice storage equipment (freezers) and a consistent supply of bagged ice, supporting operational needs across the district.
The scope of this contract encompasses the rental of ice merchandisers—commercial-grade freezers intended for storing and dispensing bagged ice—as well as the regular delivery of bagged ice to designated VDOT facilities. The successful contractor will be responsible for furnishing, installing, and maintaining the merchandisers, as well as ensuring timely and sufficient delivery of bagged ice to meet the department’s requirements. The intended outcome is to provide seamless, uninterrupted access to ice for VDOT staff and operations, particularly during periods of high demand.
Key requirements include the ability to supply and service ice merchandisers at multiple locations throughout Northern Virginia, maintain equipment in good working order, and deliver bagged ice according to a schedule or as needed. Vendors must demonstrate capacity for both equipment rental and logistics, ensuring compliance with VDOT standards and operational timelines.
The contracting entity is the Virginia Department of Transportation, a state-level organization responsible for transportation infrastructure and services across Virginia. The place of performance is specified as the state of Virginia (VA), with a focus on the Northern Virginia District. The procurement notice is accessible via the Commonwealth of Virginia’s vendor portal, and interested parties can review the full solicitation at the provided URL: https://mvendor.cgieva.com/Vendor/public/IVDetails.jsp?PageTitle=SO%20Details&rfp_id_lot=115766&rfp_id_round=0.
The procurement type is currently listed as UNKNOWN, and no information is provided regarding set-aside requirements or special considerations. Contractors should note the response deadline of April 10, 2026, at 11:04, with the notice posted on March 19, 2026. No attachments or additional documents are referenced in the notice.
This opportunity is well-suited for vendors with proven experience in commercial freezer rental and ice distribution, particularly those capable of servicing multiple locations within Northern Virginia. Contractors evaluating this opportunity should ensure their operational capabilities align with the scope and requirements outlined by VDOT, and direct any inquiries or responses through the official procurement portal.
