Athletic Apparel Union County Public Schools

The Union County Public Schools (UCPS) in North Carolina is seeking proposals from vendors to provide athletic apparel, uniforms, and equipment for its 9 middle schools and 10 high schools, which serve over 6,000 student-athletes. The 3-year district-wide contract requires the selected vendor to offer net pricing, annual price increase caps, upfront product credits, cash rebates based on total annual spend, and a dedicated annual marketing payment. The RFP outlines specific Service Level Agreement (SLA) terms that the vendor must address, emphasizing discounted rates, special offers, and rebate structures. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM ET on April 16, 2024, and the contract term is for one year with up to four one-year renewal options. UCPS will evaluate proposals based on price, rebate program, service level agreements, proposal format and completeness, technical capabilities, and references.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify an award value or budget range, but it emphasizes the importance of the rebate program in funding athletic activities across the district.
