The University of Connecticut Health Center is issuing a two-year solicitation for the supply of MERV 13 air filters to support its Indoor Air Quality Initiative, aimed at improving indoor air in public K-12 schools through DIY air purifiers. The contract requires filters equivalent to AirFilterProducts AFP3000, with specific technical standards including at least 15 pleats per linear foot and 12 square feet of media. The procurement is open to all vendors, with no set-aside restrictions, and is governed primarily by the UConn Health Standard Contract, which bidders may redline but are not obligated to accept changes.

The contract specifies FOB destination delivery, with no federal FAR clauses incorporated, and the evaluation will focus on responsiveness, technical compliance, references, and pricing, though detailed scoring criteria are not explicitly provided. Supporting documents include a scope and response spreadsheet, the standard contract template, and the main RFP PDF, all of which must be reviewed and completed as part of the bid. The process underscores transparency, compliance, and direct communication with the designated procurement contact, ensuring a straightforward, open competition for the required filters over the specified period.
