Vending Machine Equipment Supply and Installation

The contract specifies the supply, delivery, and installation of vending machines that will offer beverages, snacks, and fresh food across campus locations operated by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. This includes comprehensive site assessments to determine optimal machine placement, coordination of necessary utility connections such as power and water, and full initial setup of the equipment with integrated electronic payment systems to ensure seamless transactions. The project requires vendors to manage all aspects of deployment from logistics to final configuration, ensuring machines are operational, compliant with campus standards, and ready for student and staff use upon completion. All work must be completed prior to the response deadline of August 31, 2026, and falls under the NAICS code 333318 for other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing. The contract is structured as a subcontract and will be performed at multiple sites under the Kentucky system, with Somerset Community College noted as a specific location of interest. Vendors are expected to handle end-to-end responsibilities including equipment sourcing, installation, connectivity for digital payments, and adherence to operational requirements without direct oversight from a listed point of contact, implying the need for clear self-management and proactive communication with campus stakeholders throughout the process.
