Graduation Supplies

The Tempe Union High School District (TUHSD) is seeking qualified vendors to provide a full suite of graduation supplies—including caps, gowns, tassels, cords, stoles, medallions, diplomas, announcements, class rings and keepsakes—and to manage ordering, on‑site assistance, payment options, and customization for all district high schools. The contract will run from January 13 2027 to January 12 2028 with up to four one‑year renewal options, and it will be available to other SAVE consortium members. Vendors must submit proposals electronically by 2:00 pm Arizona time on December 1 2026 and may ask questions through the portal by November 13 2026. The District expects a reliable, high‑quality source with predictable lead times, flexible payment plans for families, and responsive communication throughout the graduation season. • Scope: supply and delivery of graduation apparel and accessories, plus coordination services at each campus. • Estimated total spend across consortium: $1.33 million annually. • Contract term: 1 year (with up to four optional renewals). • Mandatory requirements: compliance with Arizona procurement rules, forced‑labor certification, and provision of warranties, shipping terms, and insurance. • Evaluation based on price, quality, service capabilities, and ability to support multiple districts.
