Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) is seeking proposals for an Official Team Uniform and Apparel Sponsor for DCB Athletics through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on February 4, 2025. The procurement targets a comprehensive athletic apparel and gear solution for multiple sports teams, including men's and women's basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball, men's and women's hockey, and clay target teams. The selected vendor must provide team uniforms, practice gear, shoes, warm-up suits, coaching gear, travel bags, and related accessories, with specific exclusions for certain sports equipment due to conference and NJCAA regulations. Proposals are due February 20, 2025, by 2 PM CT, with award notification expected around March 15, 2025. The contract will commence on July 1, 2025, with two potential term structures: a one-year contract with four one-year renewal options or a single five-year term. The proposal evaluation will be based on a 100-point system, with 60 points allocated to technical factors (product quality/availability, value-added options, and expertise/qualifications) and 40 points for cost factors, including pricing, complimentary gear, signing bonuses, and incentives. The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No pre-proposal conference or site inspection will be conducted, and DCB has not established a specific budget for the contract. The procurement appears open to any qualified athletic apparel and gear providers capable of meeting the comprehensive requirements for team uniforms and related accessories. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the successful bidder will need to demonstrate the ability to supply high-quality, versatile athletic gear across multiple sports programs. The financial considerations include potential signing bonuses, complimentary gear, and pricing structures, suggesting flexibility in the financial aspects of the proposal. The contract's value and potential financial benefits will depend on the specific proposals submitted and the selected vendor's ability to meet DCB's comprehensive athletic apparel and gear needs.
