Minnesota State University Moorhead is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive athletic equipment, uniforms, apparel, and footwear for all its varsity sports programs, while also establishing an online merchandising platform to sell branded merchandise to the public. The contract requires the vendor to supply high-quality, nationally recognized brand products across all categories including competition uniforms, practice gear, warm-ups, sideline apparel, coaching attire, spirit wear, and limited-edition exclusive lines for men’s and women’s teams across 14 sports, with anticipated annual spending of $250,000. The vendor must offer designated percentage discounts off retail prices and demonstrate the ability to support timely fulfillment, delivery, and customer service for both the athletic department and general consumers. An online store must be mobile-optimized, ADA compliant, and PCI DSS certified to safeguard payment data, with revenue generation through commissions from web sales being a key evaluation factor. The vendor may be designated as an Official/Exclusive Partner of Dragon Athletics, with potential exclusivity on certain wordmarks and imagery reserved for limited-edition products, while adherence to existing conference equipment contracts is acknowledged. Selection will be based on a weighted evaluation of discount pricing (25%), brand recognition and incentives (20%), customer service and delivery planning (15%), support infrastructure for online sales (15%), revenue potential (15%), adherence to Minnesota State terms (5%), and supplier diversity commitment (5%), with preference given to certified Targeted Group Businesses or those committing to subcontract 10% of the contract value to such entities. The contract must be negotiated and executed by August 14, 2026, with a term of three to five years, and all submissions must be made exclusively through the state’s e-procurement system. Respondents must submit an affidavit of non-collusion, affirm they meet affirmative action requirements, accept the authorized response certification, and clearly disclose any deviations from the sample contract or risk disqualification. Payment terms are net 30 days after invoice.
