Track & Field Equipment Procurement – FB18‑020

Missouri Western State University issued a sealed‑bid competitive solicitation (FB18‑020) for the purchase, delivery, and installation of a full inventory of track‑and‑field equipment for its men’s and women’s programs. The bid specifications list 38 distinct items—including high‑jump mats, shot puts, hammers, discus, javelins, weight‑throw implements, throwing gloves, and hammer‑wires—with quantities and preferred brands (primarily Polanik and Richey). Bidders were required to submit unit prices, total costs, and estimated delivery dates (assuming a purchase order received by August 23 2017) on a hard‑copy, sealed bid form. After evaluation, the contract was awarded to Velaasa at a net price of $18,934.80 (after a $1,425.20 package discount). The award was based on product quality, inventory breadth, and color‑matching incentives. All items must be new, first‑quality, FOB Missouri Western State University (seller bears freight).
