The annual budget for signs is approximately $40,000, with quantities unknown and no guaranteed minimum orders. The University reserves the right to award to multiple vendors and may add additional vendors during the contract term if deemed necessary for competitive pricing. Past performance on North Carolina State University sign contracts will be considered in award evaluation. All quotations must be submitted on the provided form via Bonfire.
