The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is requesting bids on on-campus moving and temporary storage services under IFB 72-BKAH26090, with sealed bids due July 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET and public bid opening via Zoom at 3:00 PM ET the same day. A 10% HUB participation goal applies, targeting utilization of diverse firms.

The scope encompasses office relocations, disassembly and reassembly of modular panels and office furniture, packing and unpacking services, and temporary storage throughout the UNCW campus and remote sites. The vendor must furnish all labor, boxes, trucks, and equipment. The contractor must maintain a minimum fleet of two branded moving trucks and employ at least ten full-time employees. Replacement value protection of at least $10,000 per office relocation and appropriate insurance coverage are required. Prior to contract execution, the awarded vendor must register with the North Carolina Secretary of State and complete background checks for all personnel.

UNCW's historical annual expenditure for these services averages approximately $72,000. The initial contract term is two years from the final execution date, with the State retaining an option to renew for one additional one-year term upon written notice no later than thirty days before each term expires. Pricing must be submitted using firm-fixed rates for moving supervisors and staff (hourly), moving trucks and vans, climate-controlled storage (per square foot per month), and replacement value protection insurance across multiple coverage tiers.

Evaluation criteria weight vendor experience with similar public or private sector clients at 30% and quality of service and equipment, including claims procedures, storage options, and packing material pricing, at 40%. Questions are due July 9, 2026 by 12:00 PM ET, with responses posted by July 10. Contract award is anticipated by August 10, 2026.
