Wenger Diva Orchestra Shell

Clemson University is issuing a solicitation for the procurement of an Orchestra Shell, specifically the Wenger Diva Orchestra Shell, with a response deadline of September 4, 2024. Interested vendors must register and submit their bids through an online bidding system at least 48 hours prior to the closing date, as all submissions are required to be made electronically and prior submissions do not substitute for the official bid. The project’s estimated contract value ranges between $100,000 and $300,000, and the procurement is managed under the jurisdiction of South Carolina’s State and Local Government (SLED) organization. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Beth Perry, reachable via email or phone. The bidding process and contractual relationships are governed by Clemson University’s standard terms and conditions, which include provisions on contract modifications, assignment restrictions, background checks for contractor personnel on campus, and termination rights. These terms, effective November 15, 2020, serve as the foundational legal framework for all procurements, superseding any conflicting contractor terms on invoices. Additionally, vendors should be aware of South Carolina’s tax withholding requirements for nonresidents, which involve specific withholding rates on payments and rentals, with contact information provided for the South Carolina Department of Revenue. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with university procurement policies and highlights the importance of timely registration and bid submission through the designated online system.
