University of Chicago Laboratory Schools Online Spirit Store

The University of Chicago’s Laboratory Schools is seeking a qualified supplier to operate an online “Spirit Store” that sells Lab‑branded promotional merchandise directly to the public. The contractor will be granted a license to sell items bearing the Lab’s emblem or logo, must maintain a public‑facing e‑commerce website, and handle all aspects of order fulfillment, including inventory management, shipping, and customer service. This is an ongoing retail‑service engagement rather than a one‑time product supply. • License the University’s Lab‑branded merchandise for resale. • Develop and maintain an online storefront that accepts public purchases. • Manage inventory, order processing, shipping, and customer support. • Ensure compliance with branding guidelines and university procurement policies. • Provide regular reporting on sales, inventory, and financial reconciliation.
