The contract encompasses a single delivery of jewelry-making and metalworking supplies with a cumulative value of $1,123.65. The supplies are to be delivered to Chris Brochon at the university and include various sheets of jeweler's brass and copper in multiple gauges, round wire in stainless steel, twist drills, saw blades in multiple styles and sizes, tie tac components, jewelry casting wax, tweezers, side cutters, chemical oxidizers, replacement wicks, and scatter pin clutches. The product line items total $1,080.67, with shipping and handling adding $42.98.

This contract represents a procurement of consumable materials and tools required for jewelry fabrication and instruction purposes at Longwood University. The specific assortment of materials and equipment—including metalworking blanks, hand tools, finishing supplies, and specialty components—indicates the supplies are intended for use in a jewelry design or metalworking program. The award does not specify a period of performance beyond the award date, and no annual value is listed, suggesting this represents a single transactional purchase rather than an ongoing supply agreement.
