Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Public Purchase portal by July 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST, with three physical copies also required. Vendors must certify they are not debarred or excluded, comply with all applicable laws, and provide proof of insurance coverage including workers’ compensation, commercial general liability with sexual molestation coverage, auto liability, and a $5 million umbrella policy. Payment terms are Net 30, but invoices are not payable until the goods are inspected and accepted by the University, and no payment will be made for errors or deviations caused by the vendor.
