Sports Medicine Supply

Auburn University is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive Sports Medicine Supply contract through a Request for Bid (RFB) numbered AU-2022-0000477. The procurement seeks a wide range of sports medicine and athletic support products, including taping supplies, liquids and creams, foot supplies, braces, modalities, rehabilitation equipment, bandages, sleeves, and casting supplies. Specific product categories include knee sleeves, ankle braces, electrodes, patches, and rehabilitation equipment, with quantities specified as single units or packs. The bid was opened on June 2, 2022, and closed on June 10, 2022, with a proposed service contract term of one year and the potential for four additional annual renewals contingent upon acceptable service and mutually agreeable pricing. Bidders are required to upload a completed and notarized vendor disclosure statement and, if operating within Alabama, provide an E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding.

The contract allows for potential expansion to other eligible entities, including Auburn University at Montgomery and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, with each entity capable of generating its own purchase orders and payments. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned, the university reserves the right to award the contract in whole or part, with the best interest of the university serving as the primary determining factor. Payment terms are established at 0% 0, Net 30, indicating flexibility in financial arrangements. The solicitation does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but the comprehensive nature of the sports medicine supply requirements suggests a potentially significant contract value. Bidders must comply with state sales tax regulations and demonstrate the capability to provide a full range of sports medicine and athletic support products to meet the university's diverse needs.
