Long-Lead Material Procurement and Supply

The University of California is seeking a subcontractor to procure and deliver long-lead construction materials including structural steel, elevators, and foundation components ahead of final design completion to support ongoing infrastructure projects in San Diego. This procurement is critical to maintaining project timelines, as these materials require extended manufacturing and delivery cycles, and early acquisition prevents delays during the construction phase. The work falls under NAICS code 332312, indicating specialized metal fabrication and structural manufacturing, and the contract is designated as a subcontract with no specific set-aside provisions. The materials must be sourced, manufactured, and delivered in accordance with project specifications to ensure compatibility with future design elements, even before those designs are finalized. The responsibility lies with the subcontractor to manage supply chains, coordinate with engineering teams, and guarantee timely delivery to the construction site in San Diego. While no formal point of contact or detailed bid deadlines are provided, the solicitation was posted on July 16, 2026, indicating a future procurement timeline. The contract does not specify funding source, payment terms, or performance metrics beyond delivery of approved materials, leaving these details to be defined in the subcontracting agreement.
