The University intends to award a contract for University Branded Apparel to Streaker Sports, Macedon, NY, for an estimated $650,000.
The university has an ongoing need for the purchase of University-branded apparel of an ongoing indefinite quantity (4.2055(g)(2)). This is needed to meet customer needs at the Illini Union Bookstore. The end result of this will be the Bookstore's ability to remain competitive in the retail market.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the item is to be procured for commercial resale. .
