Scientific Equipment

Tennessee State University’s Procurement Services is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a quadcopter and related accessories to support scientific research and field data collection. Vendors must submit a formal, signed quote by 2:00 PM CT on 25 August 2026. The purchase will be made via a purchase order with Net‑45 payment terms after receipt and inspection of the goods. The university will ship to its central receiving facility in Nashville, and all taxes must be excluded because the institution is tax‑exempt. Delivery is expected within two weeks of order receipt, and the vendor must handle all transportation and FOB‑destination costs. • Item focus: quadcopter airframe, sensors, data‑loggers, accessories (e.g., bird‑spike kits, cable splice kits). • Quantity: multiple line items ranging from 2 to 35 units per SKU. • Required documentation: signed ink signature, proof of authority, compliance with Tennessee state procurement regulations, and attestation regarding illegal immigrant labor. • Evaluation criteria: price, delivery schedule, compliance with specifications, and ability to provide samples if requested. • Payment: Net 45 after inspection; no taxes to be included. • Contact for questions/clarifications: Sharon Bunch, Compliance Officer (see contact details above).
