USF Office Moves and Lab Moves

The University of South Florida (USF) is seeking to establish agreements with multiple qualified moving businesses to provide office and lab moving services on an "as needed, when needed" basis for its campuses in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota-Manatee areas. The scope of work includes protecting, packing, loading, transporting, storing, unloading, unpacking, and placing furniture, computers, lab equipment, and other personal effects. Suppliers must have a minimum of two years of relevant experience and will be evaluated on their pricing, experience, and other criteria. Projects may be awarded to a single supplier or competitively bid among the contracted suppliers, with the lowest qualified bid being selected. In terms of pricing, labor costs will be quoted at the hourly rates provided by the suppliers, which must include all associated costs such as tools, equipment, transportation, and overhead. Material, subcontractor, and specialty equipment costs will also be reimbursed, with subcontractor costs subject to solicitation requirements based on the dollar value. Suppliers must indicate their willingness and ability to accept the USF purchasing card for payment. The actual value of work authorized under each purchase order may be less than the total award amount.

This solicitation is open to any qualified business entity licensed to do business in the state of Florida. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendors or current contractors are not specified, and the solicitation does not mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award amount or budget range is not provided in the information given.
