Talkaphone Building Entry Phones

Grand Valley State University issued an RFP to procure Talkaphone building entry telephone systems and associated stainless‑steel enclosure hardware for installation across its campuses. The solicitation outlines required quantities for analog intercom units (emergency button only and button‑plus‑keypad models) and stainless‑steel surface‑mount enclosures (hooded and non‑hooded), with optional items listed for pricing only. Vendors must submit detailed pricing—including advertised retail price, discounted price, extended price, payment terms, and actual shipping costs—for each SKU. The university emphasizes tax‑exempt status, U.S.‑made product preferences, and the right to negotiate the most favorable proposal. The award is intended for Anixter Inc. No installation or services are included; the contract is solely for the supply of hardware. • Required hardware: 26 × ETP‑520E (emergency‑only), 3 × ETP‑520ECK (emergency + keypad), 17 × hooded enclosures, 12 × non‑hooded enclosures. • Optional pricing items (not guaranteed): additional intercoms and enclosures for potential future needs. • Submission deadline: 18 Feb 2026, with tax‑exempt documentation and W‑9 required.
