Supply of Children’s Educational Items – Mississippi State University

This Mississippi State University contract calls for a single vendor to provide a broad catalog of children’s educational items—including manipulatives, books, puzzles, toys, storage bins, and furniture—on a discount basis. The vendor must maintain an approved catalog, submit discount rates for four item categories (no‑assembly, unassembled, assembled, on‑site assembled), and be able to fulfill orders throughout a 12‑month period using MSU’s Order/Request Form process. Delivery terms vary by order size, and the vendor must supply proof of delivery for each shipment. No items over $5,000, computers, software, or standard office furniture are permitted. The contract is valued at roughly $1.9 M and may be extended statewide if the vendor opts in on tie‑breaker questions. • Catalog‑based supply of K‑12 educational manipulatives, books, toys, and furniture. • Four discount categories weighted (60/30/5/5) to determine award; vendor must offer single discount rates per category. • Delivery thresholds: ≤ $100 orders require vendor‑prepaid freight; > $100 orders are FOB destination. • Required proof of delivery; invoices reference contract number MSU2026076 and specific order forms. • Potential for state‑wide use if vendor agrees to extend pricing to other agencies.
