Substitution+Request+Form.xlsx

This is a Procurement Substitution Request Form for North Dakota State University (NDSU) related to a furniture package project for the Field Soils Lab Building #168 located in Fargo, North Dakota. The form is designed to allow bidders to request substitutions for specified furniture items as part of the procurement process. The document establishes a standardized format for collecting detailed product information, including manufacturer specifications, product names, brochure links, product images, warranty details, weight limits for seating products, and estimated lead times measured in weeks. The JLG Project Number 23197 serves as the identifier for this procurement initiative.

The substitution form requires bidders to provide comprehensive product documentation and specifications to ensure compliance with project requirements and facilitate proper evaluation of alternative products. The form includes columns for item codes, warranty information, weight capacity limits for seating furniture, lead time estimates in weeks, and a comments section for additional relevant information. This structured approach enables NDSU to systematically review and compare proposed substitutions against the original specifications while maintaining transparency and consistency throughout the procurement evaluation process.
