The University awarded a contract for General Merchandise Purchases to CC Products Inc/Champion Custom Products Inc, Chicago, IL, for an estimated $1,600,000.
The University has a need to purchase licensed apparel for resale at the Bookstore in order to meet the demand of its customers, which include University students, faculty, and staff.
The University, on information and belief, has concluded that only one vendor can meet its need or can meet the need economically. That vendor is CC Products Inc/Champion Custom Products Inc. The University has provided detailed justification to support its conclusion as shown on the attached Sole Source Justification Form.
Although the University has presented this as a sole source procurement, we are seeking competitive information from firms with the capability of meeting the University's need (even if performed in a manner different from what has been presented) to contact us and provide sufficient information to show the need can be met. If we receive that information, the Chief Procurement Officer will offer a public hearing to consider the matter. Hearing information is described below.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the item is to be procured for commercial resale.
