Request for Information on Lecterns

Mott Community College in Genesee County, Michigan, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking options for two new lecterns through the BidNetDirect platform. The RFI, identified as RFI-KD-0525-LECTERN, is soliciting information on lecterns with specific requirements including casters for mobility across carpet and tile, electronic height adjustment capabilities, compatibility with various microphone types, and a wood grain finish with space for a college logo. Responses are due by May 12, 2025, with the college emphasizing that this is an informational request with no guarantee of purchase. Vendors are expected to provide detailed specifications, including lead times, stock availability, warranty information (minimum 1-year coverage), and cost approximations. The college has referenced potential model options from PodiumPros and PodiumsTop and is open to both pre-built and custom-built solutions that meet their specific requirements.

The procurement opportunity is open to all vendors, with the college specifically noting its participation in multiple consortium agreements, including Omnia Partners, REMC, HPS, MiDeal, E&I, and Sourcewell. Vendors are encouraged to indicate any pricing available through these consortia contracts. Mott Community College is a tax-exempt institution and will follow standard Net 30 payment terms. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are explicitly mentioned, the college demonstrates a commitment to non-discrimination and equal opportunity. No incumbent vendors are identified, and no specific budget range is provided, reflecting the exploratory nature of this Request for Information. The college reserves the right to reject any or all submissions, maintaining flexibility in its procurement process.
