Stationery Supply

Auburn University is seeking to establish a preferred relationship with a stationery supply vendor through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on May 31, 2022, with proposals due by June 22, 2022, at 10:30 AM CDT. The procurement involves producing and delivering stationery products, specifically including envelopes, business cards, AU watermarked letterhead, and notecards with envelopes. Vendors must submit proposals through the JAGGAER Sourcing Event Portal, with bid openings conducted via a public conference call. The RFP includes a structured timeline with a Q&A submission deadline of June 10, 2022, and Q&A responses scheduled for June 15, 2022. Potential suppliers must complete a vendor disclosure statement and demonstrate compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements. The university will use net 30 payment terms and conduct the procurement using US Dollars, with the flexibility to award the contract in whole or part, and potentially make multiple awards based on their best interests.

The solicitation demonstrates a strong commitment to small business development, requiring contractors to make concerted efforts to utilize Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business (SB & SDB) suppliers if subcontracting becomes necessary. Vendors must comply with Alabama state law, including tax registration requirements and E-Verify employment verification. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a comprehensive stationery supply contract with potential for ongoing relationship and multiple award possibilities. The university reserves the right to select vendors that best meet their operational needs and demonstrate capability in producing high-quality stationery products with AU-specific branding requirements. Potential suppliers should be prepared to show their ability to meet the university's specifications, provide competitive pricing, and align with the institution's procurement guidelines and small business development objectives.
