Description

The University of Connecticut seeks proposals from qualified laboratory supply distributors to provide chemicals, labware, basic laboratory equipment, and related services. The University is seeking distributors capable of meeting the full breadth of the scope, and may award one or more contracts. Proposals should address distributor experience, comparable contracts and references, authorized manufacturers, customer and technical support, electronic ordering, logistics and delivery, issue resolution, returns, warranties, reporting, pricing, and value-added considerations. Proposers must complete the Market Basket Pricing file and submit a Category Discount Schedule, along with required proposal responses and certifications. Optional supporting proposals include detailed support, return, warranty, pricing, and economic or value-added plans. The contract has an initial five-year term, with options to extend for up to five additional years. The solicitation establishes the University's own contract; it does not use the State of Connecticut's separate science educational materials procurement as a cooperative purchasing agreement.
