Tri-Dim Air Filters (No Substitutions)

UConn Health, located in Hartford County, Connecticut, is seeking qualified suppliers to submit bids for a specialized procurement of Tri-Dim brand dry type, extended surface pocket air filters to be used at various locations within their health system. This Invitation to Bid (ITB) with solicitation number UCHC4-155332459 strictly requires no substitutions from the specified Tri-Dim brand, indicating a highly specific technical requirement. The bid period runs from April 9, 2022, to April 18, 2022, with bids due on April 11, 2022, at 2:00 PM EDT. A vendor Q&A period is open from April 9 to April 13, 2022, during which potential bidders can submit questions to the procurement contact, Margaret Roy. Bidders must submit their responses via email to mroy@uchc.edu, including a completed Excel Bidder's Response spreadsheet and the UConn Health Standard Contract, which must be either signed in full acceptance or redlined with any proposed exceptions for consideration.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, suggesting the bid is open to all qualified suppliers. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no stated preferences for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The procurement documents do not specify an estimated total contract value, line item quantities, or contract duration. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be defined by the vendor. The lack of detailed financial information and contract specifics suggests this may be a straightforward, potentially low-value procurement focused primarily on meeting the specific air filtration needs of UConn Health's facilities. Vendors interested in responding must carefully review all provided documentation, including the ITB documents, Bidder Response Spreadsheet, UConn Health Standard Contract, and any issued addendums.
