Lighting Components

This state and local contracting opportunity is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina for the procurement of various lighting components, including retrofits, lamps, and sensors. The university is seeking bids for specific brand-name lighting products, with detailed pricing, delivery, and technical specifications provided in the IFB. The intent is to award an Agency Specific Contract, with a planned effective date of September 26, 2024. Bids are due by September 19, 2024 at 2:00 PM ET, and the award will be made to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets the stated requirements.

The IFB outlines several key requirements, including the need for authorized resellers, warranties, descriptive literature, and references. It also mentions historically underutilized business (HUB) participation as a consideration. No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are specified. The total budget or expected award value is not provided in the IFB. However, the procurement is expected to be for the supply of lighting components to Appalachian State University, with the successful contractor potentially serving as the primary vendor for these products under the resulting Agency Specific Contract.
