Solicitation # 154542701
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive ten-year beverage partnership to manage the sale and distribution of cold beverages across its Blacksburg campus. The scope of work includes providing beverages and necessary equipment, such as vending machines, coolers, and fountain units, for dining centers and campus locations, as well as securing exclusive rights for Athletics Department events. Key deliverables involve the implementation of sponsor-approved branded cups, the prominent display of company marks on dispensing equipment, the development of an annual campus recycling plan, and the provision of hospitality rights and tickets for university functions. The selection process is based on a best-value proposal evaluation totaling 100 points, where price is a factor but not the sole determinant. The resulting contract will be governed by the Commonwealth Standard Contract Form and specific terms requiring contractors to maintain records for five years and allowing the university to cancel the agreement with 60 days written notice. Financial details include specific unit pricing for bottled products and post-mix syrups, alongside increased annual funding for recycling and other programs. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the university's procurement portal, with a final submission deadline of November 2, 2026.
