Haworth Furniture

The University of North Dakota (UND) is pursuing a noncompetitive procurement of Haworth office furniture through Sourcewell cooperative contract #091423, with the purchase to be facilitated through Norby's Office Perks. The total procurement value is $114,537.88, with the procurement process taking place within Grand Forks County, North Dakota. The solicitation was posted on September 18, 2025, with a response deadline of September 25, 2025 at 3:00 PM CT. Vendors are required to submit electronic responses via the State Procurement Office Online system, with a maximum of five documents, each limited to 50mb. Submission requirements include comprehensive company information, detailed specifications demonstrating how proposed solutions meet requirements, potential value-added features, and complete cost information. The university's justification for the noncompetitive approach is that Sourcewell has previously conducted competitive bidding to secure optimal pricing.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly mentioned, the procurement process allows for alternative bids or proposals from vendors offering equivalent commodities or services. The solicitation does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or specific vendor classifications. No incumbent vendor details beyond Norby's Office Perks were provided in the documentation. The procurement is specifically for office furniture, suggesting potential integration with existing UND office environments and infrastructure. The established budget of $114,537.88 represents the current procurement value, though vendors are encouraged to propose competitive alternatives that meet or exceed the specified requirements. The use of the Sourcewell cooperative contract suggests a streamlined procurement approach designed to maximize value and efficiency for the educational institution.
