The University at Buffalo is seeking proposals from qualified vendors or contractors to establish a multi-year contract for the rental, setup, and removal of tents and event equipment to support various university events and general activities over a five-year period. The contract requires the selected vendor to have a minimum of three years of relevant experience in tent and equipment rental, along with the ability to provide at least three recent references demonstrating similar scope and size. The vendor must maintain appropriate insurance coverage throughout the contract duration and possess sufficient equipment to meet the university's needs as outlined in the solicitation. The procurement emphasizes diversity and inclusion, with specific goals for women-owned (12.1%) and minority-owned (17.9%) subcontracting, although it is not set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.
