Controls Components

Appalachian State University is soliciting bids under IFB55-103026 for the procurement of new Johnson Controls components. This brand-specific contract prohibits substitutions to ensure compatibility with existing systems and requires the delivery and installation of various parts, including CVM, XPM, and CGM units, among others. The award will be granted to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets all specifications, with evaluations considering product quality, warranty, total cost, and company reputation. The contract value is estimated to be above the small purchase threshold but up to 1,000,000.00 USD. The selected vendor must adhere to strict packaging and labeling standards, including the use of purchase order numbers on all manifests and safety certifications from organizations such as ASME, UL, NEMA, or AGA. Delivery is considered complete only after installation is finished and all debris is removed from the site. Payment is contingent upon a successful inspection by the contract administrator to ensure equipment is functioning as required. Additionally, vendors must provide a designated contract manager, certify financial stability, and comply with North Carolina E-Verify and COVID-19 vaccination or testing policies. Bids are due by November 13, 2026, and must include specific documentation such as pricing forms, customer references, and financial certifications.
