About this opportunity
Kennesaw State University (KSU), a state entity within Cobb County, Georgia, issued an electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) on March 24, 2026, to establish contracts with one or more qualified suppliers to provide promotional items and merchandise. The procurement seeks vendors capable of supplying a comprehensive range of promotional products including apparel, bags, drinkware, paper products, tech accessories, writing instruments, trophies, awards, and miscellaneous items as detailed in the cost worksheet. Pricing will be evaluated based on percentage discounts offered for product categories, with additional consideration given to separate dollar-amount charges for shipping, artwork, setup fees, rush orders, screen printing, and embroidery services. Vendors must provide equivalent brands that meet KSU's specifications, and if awarded a contract, non-approved KSU trademark licensees must complete a licensing application through the specified portal prior to contract execution. The contract term will be one year with the potential for up to four additional one-year renewals, though the agreement does not guarantee minimum purchase amounts and is structured as an open-amount contract. The submission deadline is April 23, 2026, with termination and renewal decisions made at KSU's sole discretion.
The procurement does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting eligibility to particular enterprise types or disadvantaged business categories. A current standard licensed-type trademark agreement is a mandatory requirement for all contracted licensees and must be maintained throughout the contract duration. No information regarding incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific award values and budget ranges is provided in this procurement notice. The contract structure does not prioritize any awarded contract over another, as governed by the Georgia Procurement Manual.
