California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) is soliciting proposals through Request for Proposal AA25005 to procure intercollegiate athletics apparel, footwear, and related athletic equipment for student-athletes, coaches, and administrators at the Division I NCAA institution. The procurement requires vendors to supply comprehensive athletic apparel and equipment services tailored to meet the needs of the CSUF Athletics Department. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience providing collegiate team uniforms and athletic apparel to NCAA institutions, with preference given to those with Division I program experience, and must supply a nationally recognized intercollegiate athletic brand with an established NCAA Division I market presence. The evaluation criteria allocate 100 points across five categories: Qualifications and Experience (40 points), Proposer's Response to Scope of Work (25 points), References (10 points), and Price Proposal Sheet (25 points), with the University reserving the right to conduct optional interviews. Proposal submissions must include one original hard copy marked as such, six additional hard copies, and one identical electronic USB copy, with all materials submitted to the Contracts and Procurement Office, College Park 300, 2600 E. Nutwood Avenue, Fullerton, CA 92831 by Monday, March 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM (PST). The contract term is three years with firm and fixed pricing for the initial term, and bidders must acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 01 (issued March 16, 2026) in their cover letters and submit three mandatory references from similar engagements or face potential disqualification.

The RFP documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond, nor do they identify incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration. No budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the available addendum materials. The University reserves the right to contact references and conduct interviews at its sole discretion, and proposals containing material deviations from requirements or unacceptable exceptions will be deemed non-responsive. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible proposer receiving the highest total points based on the established evaluation criteria at the University's sole discretion.
