Laboratory Supplies and Equipment

The University of Connecticut is issuing an RFP to identify qualified laboratory‑supply distributors that can serve as the primary vendor for chemicals, labware, basic equipment, and related services across its main Storrs campus and all regional campuses throughout Connecticut. The contract will cover ongoing procurement for teaching and research laboratories, requiring a vendor that can provide a broad catalog of scientific consumables, maintain inventory levels, and support delivery to multiple sites. • Scope includes chemicals, reagents, glassware, plasticware, bench equipment, and minor laboratory instruments. • Vendor must be able to ship FOB‑Destination to various university locations in Connecticut. • No line‑item pricing; the solicitation is a “no line‑item bid” meaning the university expects a comprehensive proposal rather than item‑by‑item quotes. • Open to all vendors; no restriction on prior relationships. • Contact for questions is Dennis Sienna (University of Connecticut).
