Athletic Field Paint (Rebid)

North Carolina State University's Athletics Department is seeking to establish a blanket order for athletic field paint through a Request for Quotation (RFQ #63-DMP1067350R1). The procurement covers white and colored 1:1 ratio paints and aerosol paints specifically designed for turf applications, with vendors required to provide paint delivered in 275-gallon tote containers and capable of matching specific PMS color numbers. Vendors must quote per-gallon prices for white and colored paint and per-case prices for aerosol paint, with all transportation charges FOB Destination and pre-paid. The contract duration is one year, with quotes due by January 31, 2025, at 5:00 PM through the Bonfire Public Portal. Prospective vendors must submit questions by January 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM, and coordinate all deliveries directly with NCSU Athletics. Key requirements include providing turf-friendly, ready-to-use paint mixed at a 1:1 water-to-paint ratio, and offering a discount percentage from MSRP for potential additional similar items during the contract period.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the RFQ includes an Executive Order #50 price-matching preference for North Carolina resident bidders. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range is explicitly stated. The solicitation emphasizes that no quantities or dollar amounts are guaranteed, and NC State University reserves the right to order more or less according to departmental needs and budget constraints. The university is tax-exempt (ID #400021), and potential vendors must be prepared to meet technical submission requirements, including using compatible web browsers and adhering to file upload specifications. Vendors must be capable of providing flexible paint solutions that meet the specific athletic field marking requirements of NC State University, with the understanding that actual order volumes may vary significantly throughout the one-year contract period.
