- Submission is “sealed” and will be received/opened by the Cumberland County Finance Department, Purchasing Division.
- Hard deadline/time: Tuesday March 24, 2026 at 2:30 PM prevailing time.
- Submission/opening location: Cumberland County Administration Building, 164 West Broad Street, Bridgeton, NJ 08302 (Office of the Purchasing Agent).
