included on the Samples of PRCS Apparel - Attachment 4.

year renewal periods, however, based on the quality and quantity of bids received, the

require uniforms and apparel with the new logo for all of its employees with delivery
beginning as early as May 15, 2025, and on a rolling basis until complete.
3.0 COMPETITION INTENDED
It is the County's intent that this IFB permits competition. It shall be the bidder's
responsibility to advise the Purchasing Agent in writing if any language, requirement,
specification, etc., or any combination thereof, inadvertently restricts or limits the
requirements stated in this IFB to a single source. Such notification must be received by
the Purchasing Agent or appointed designee not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the
date set for bids to close.
4.0 DISCREPANCIES
Should a bidder find discrepancies in the plans and/or specifications or be in doubt as to the
meaning or intent of any part thereof, the bidder shall request clarification from the County
in writing, not later than ten (10) working days prior to the bid opening. Any changes to the
IFB that result from such a clarification request, will be communicated through a written
addendum and posted on the Procurement home page at www.loudoun.gov/procurement.
Failure to request such a clarification is a waiver of any claim by the bidder for additional
expenses because its interpretation was different than the County’s.
