The University is seeking bids from experienced and qualified vendors to provide a complete line of Hearing Aids, as well as all necessary service, training and support. In soliciting bids, it is the University's intent to establish a multivendor contract that will allow the Department of Communication Sciences to obtain a full range of models, modifications, accessories and repair services for personal amplification devices as required by their hearing impaired clientele. To accomplish this, the University will reserve the right to utilize secondary suppliers if it is determined that doing so would be in the best interest of the clients.
