Athletic Paint

North Carolina State University is establishing a blanket order for athletic field paint, specifically for white and colored 1:1 ratio paints priced per gallon. The contract begins on February 4, 2027, and runs through February 3, 2028, with the university reserving the right to renew for four additional one-year periods, for a maximum total of five years. Orders will be placed on an as-needed basis, and the contract is awarded to the lowest responsible bidder based on price, quality, bidder capability, and compliance with specifications. A price-matching preference may be granted to qualified North Carolina resident bidders. Deliveries are set as FOB Destination with freight prepaid and included in the unit costs. Paint must be ready for use upon delivery, and vendors must offer the option of 275-gallon tote containers to reduce waste, ensuring all totes are full unless otherwise authorized. Bidders are required to provide an ingredient list for all supplied products and must adhere to safety standards from organizations such as UL, ASME, or NEMA where applicable. Payment terms are net 30 days following the receipt of a correct invoice or acceptance of goods. The university may also require a performance bond and commercial insurance from the successful bidder.
