About this opportunity

The University of Wisconsin System Administration (UWSA) is soliciting bids for comprehensive sports apparel and related services for the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and University of Wisconsin-Superior campuses. The procurement seeks a vendor capable of supplying uniforms, apparel, footwear, and select equipment for multiple athletic programs, including football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, track, cross country, softball, ice hockey, tennis, golf, gymnastics, baseball, lacrosse, and athletic training. The bid specifically targets an exclusive apparel and uniform brand that can support both campuses' athletic needs, with current utilization of Under Armour as the existing provider. Interested vendors should be prepared to present multiple brand options (such as Under Armour, Nike, Adidas) with competitive pricing and incentives. The solicitation requires all bid responses to be submitted online through https://bids.sciquest.com/apps/Router/PublicEvent?CustomerOrg=UWisconsin, with all questions directed to Lew Bettinger at lew.bettinger@uwss.wisconsin.edu. The critical submission deadline is March 20, 2024, with the opportunity initially posted on February 26, 2024.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the procurement document, the bid appears open to vendors with diverse brand portfolios and comprehensive athletic supply capabilities. The current incumbent vendor is Under Armour, which provides exclusive uniforms and apparel for both campuses. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but given the comprehensive nature of the contract covering multiple sports programs across two university campuses, the potential contract value could be substantial. The universities are seeking flexibility in brand selection while maintaining the goal of establishing a single, exclusive apparel provider. Potential vendors should demonstrate the ability to meet the full range of athletic apparel needs, provide competitive pricing, and offer comprehensive support for both the Oshkosh and Superior campuses' athletic departments.
