Science Departments Summer 2026 Supply Bid

This opportunity is a university‑wide solicitation for the summer 2026 semester requiring vendors to provide pricing for hundreds of laboratory consumables, chemicals, glassware, equipment, and general supplies across six science departments. The university will purchase items on a “blanket” basis, with delivery FOB to the campus location as specified in each purchase order. Vendors must submit a completed quote sheet (the provided Excel matrix) and include the required W‑9 and Michigan sales‑tax exemption documentation. The procurement emphasizes American‑made products where feasible and values socially responsible, sustainable sourcing. • Supplies span glassware, chemicals, disposable plastics, gloves, safety equipment, and small lab instruments. • Quantities are generally low (most items are single‑unit), but the aggregate value runs into the high‑hundreds‑of‑thousands of dollars. • Bidders must comply with tax‑exempt status requirements (sales/use tax certificate) and provide two references from similar services.
