2027 Annual Paint Contract

The University of North Carolina Greensboro is requesting proposals for an annual paint contract covering interior and exterior painting services and minor repairs for all residence halls, academic buildings, and administrative buildings on campus, with proposals due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT. UNCG intends to award to multiple vendors and reserves the right to make separate awards for individual line items.

The scope encompasses all labor, equipment, supplies, site visits, supervision, and insurance necessary to complete work. Pricing is submitted on a firm, fixed unit-price basis for interior walls (eggshell finish), ceilings under 12 feet (flat finish), wall trim and trim elements (semi-gloss), doors and windows including wood grids (semi-gloss), sheetrock repairs, and plaster repairs with mesh reinforcement as required. All prices must remain firm for 180 days from contract execution; subsequent increases are permitted only with UNCG approval and only if applied generally across the vendor's customer base.

The initial contract term is one year from execution, with UNCG holding options to renew for two additional one-year terms at its sole discretion, with written notice required at least fifteen days before each term end. This is a convenience contract with no guaranteed minimum spending; UNCG reserves the right to procure off-contract.

Evaluation criteria, weighted in descending order of importance, are technical approach, vendor experience and qualifications, staffing and project management, past performance and references, schedule and responsiveness, quality control program, and pricing. Vendors must provide minimum three customer references for similar work, location-of-workers documentation, and certification of financial condition. Vendors must be registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State and the eVP system, comply with E-Verify, and pass background checks if requested. Questions were due August 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT; responses are posted by August 19. Bid opening is August 27 at 2:30 PM EDT via Microsoft Teams.
