Draperies & Pillows - Culinary Sciences Center

Auburn University's Procurement and Business Services is seeking sealed bids for draperies and pillows for the Culinary Sciences Center through a competitive Request for Bid (RFB) process. The procurement (Bid No. AU-2021-0000211) encompasses 30 line items including various throw pillows in square, rectangular, and kidney-shaped designs, pillow inserts, and drapery panels with specific configurations such as fully traversing, operable, and blackout options. Quantities range from 1 to 32 units per item type, with vendors required to provide materials, fabrication, delivery, and installation services. The bid was opened on 4/30/2021 and is scheduled to close on 6/23/2021, with bids to be submitted through the JAGGAER Sourcing Event Portal. Key requirements include submitting a completed and notarized disclosure statement, compliance with Alabama state sales tax regulations, and certification of not being debarred or suspended. Payment terms are set at net 30 days, and the university reserves the right to award the contract in whole or part based on its best interests.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The bid does not indicate any incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements for integration. While no precise award value or budget range was specified, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a potentially significant contract for window treatments and furnishings. Bidders must note that alternates will not be accepted, and the scope of work explicitly excludes blocking, tracks, electric motors, carriers, fasteners, pulleys, and stops. The evaluation will likely focus on vendor compliance with specifications, ability to meet all required deliverables, and overall value proposition to Auburn University. Interested vendors must carefully review all specifications and submit complete, compliant bids through the designated electronic portal by the 6/23/2021 deadline.
