This is a product specification document for a state and local contract opportunity issued by the City of Columbus, Ohio for the procurement of a branded canopy/tent for the Sustainable Columbus initiative. The contract requires the procurement of one 10-foot by 10-foot pop-up canopy with a steel frame or heavy-duty alloy construction featuring adjustable height with a minimum of three locking settings. The canopy must be constructed from polyester material with UV and water resistance properties and include a heavy-duty wheeled carrying case with storage and carrying straps, along with weights, ropes, and stakes for stability. The design specifications call for a primarily white canopy with flowing accents in Sustainable Columbus brand colors (deep blue, lime green, and light blue), featuring asymmetrical ribbon-like graphics on the roof panels, a branded front valance with the Sustainable Columbus logo, deep blue side valances with white text, and a removable white full-width back wall with a stacked logo and flowing color bands. The assembly must feature an instant pop-up design capable of tool-free setup by two people.

The specification document requires that all bids include fees, shipping, and handling with no hidden costs to be revealed later, and that bulk packaging utilize recyclable or minimal materials. A mock-up of the canopy design must be provided to RWBurga@columbus.gov prior to printing. The branding must incorporate Columbus Water & Power white logos as supplied, with the document referencing an example product from ABC Canopy as a reference point for the type of commercial-grade pop-up canopy required.
