Polk State College, hereafter referred to as the “College” is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide temporary storage and handling services for incoming medical equipment, including but not limited to ultrasound machines, exam tables, wheelchairs, simulators, medical supply carts, and related items. These services are needed to support the College’s ongoing construction of a new healthcare training facility in Davenport, Florida. Due to construction timelines, equipment deliveries will arrive in advance of the facility’s readiness. As such, the selected vendor will be responsible for:
• Receiving and inspecting deliveries of sensitive medical equipment,
• Tracking and maintaining an accurate inventory of all items received,
• Storing equipment securely in a clean, climate-controlled, and access-controlled environment,
• Coordinating and performing delivery of equipment to the new facility once construction is complete,
• And, assisting with installation logistics under the direction of the College and its contractors.
The anticipated duration of services is approximately two to three (2–3) months, beginning upon the first scheduled equipment delivery and concluding with the final installation in the new facility.
The College seeks a provider who can demonstrate proven experience in handling sensitive, high-value medical equipment, and who can ensure professional coordination throughout the storage and delivery process.
