Appalachian State University

Appalachian State University is soliciting vendors for open-end services agreements for informal projects under $300,000, with applications due July 30, 2026. This is a framework vehicle, not a competitive bid for a single project — vendors who execute the agreement become eligible to respond to individual task orders as ASU needs arise.

The agreement establishes a standing relationship for on-demand service delivery. Pricing is negotiated individually for each project based on scope and deliverables; the vehicle itself does not commit ASU to a volume or value. The scope is broad informal projects, which the agreement template accommodates without requiring competitive solicitation for each task. Vendors must carry standard commercial insurance, indemnify the university, accept liability limitations, and comply with ASU termination provisions. The agreement includes standard university procurement compliance and North Carolina public contracting requirements.

There is no incumbent named. No evaluation criteria, weighting, set-asides, or preference programs are specified in the source. No pre-bid meeting or question deadline is mentioned.
