Contractors may propose pricing for new furniture, pre-owned furniture, or a combination thereof, provided all products meet specified requirements and performance standards. All furniture must be delivered and installed within thirty calendar days after purchase order issuance. The contract term is two years with a potential one-year extension at GoTriangle's discretion, with proposals due July 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM North Carolina time.

Evaluation of proposals will be based on best overall value, with weightings assigned as follows: Experience (40%), Cost Proposal (30%), Delivery (20%), and Method (10%). Pricing shall remain firm for the duration of the current contract term, with price adjustment requests permitted upon written notice at least sixty days prior to renewal. The cost proposal form provides separate line items for unit pricing and extended costs for both new and pre-owned furniture options, with contractors permitted to include delivery, installation, electrical connections, power distribution, and related services either within the item unit cost or as separate line items. Contractors must comply with North Carolina E-Verify requirements, Iran Divestment Act certification, Israel Boycott Act certification, and demonstrate non-debarred status. Contractors are required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability, Worker's Compensation, Automobile Liability, Umbrella/Excess Liability, and Professional Liability with specified minimum limits, and must provide a minimum one-year workmanship warranty on all installation work and full product warranties with timely repair or replacement of defective items at no cost. Liquidated damages of $100 per calendar day apply for failure to meet the required completion deadline. Subcontracting is not permitted, with contractual responsibility resting solely with one firm or legal entity. Proposals should be submitted via email to Dean Nunnally, Procurement Officer at Dnunnally@gotriangle.org, with no pre-offer conference to be conducted.
