Contract CW44589

The University of Nebraska has awarded a contract to Signature Style Inc., doing business as Signature Championship Rings, for the provision of class rings and championship rings to the University's Athletics Department. The contract, identified as CW44589, was originally executed on August 1, 2023, and has been extended through two amendments to cover the performance period through July 31, 2027. The current annual contract value is $125,000, with a cumulative value of $365,000 across all amendments. The supplier will design, manufacture, and deliver championship and senior rings for Nebraska Athletics student athletes upon graduation or Big Ten title wins, with products available in multiple materials including Lustrium, student athlete rings, and specialty options such as Sterling Silver at varying price points ranging from $139 to $449 per unit.

Service delivery includes ring design, manufacturing with a 10–12 week production timeline from licensing approval, and hand-delivery to the University. The contract establishes a Master Service Agreement governed by Nebraska law with payment terms of Net 45 days upon invoice submission. Signature Championship Rings provides a lifetime warranty that includes free stone replacement and resizing, maintains ring molds indefinitely for future use, and charges no surcharges for orders under five rings. The procurement was approved as non-competitive based on the supplier's previously negotiated pricing and locked-in costs that demonstrate substantial cost savings to the University's Athletics Department.
