The purpose of this RFP is to establish a new, cost effective Master Agreement (Agreement) which
complies with our member procurement requirements and will provide Members a procurement
vehicle to acquire MRO Equipment, Supplies and Services. We currently have an existing agreement that is
scheduled to expire January 31, 2010. The new agreement is intended to improve efficiencies, lower supply
chain costs, promote use of minority and woman owned (diverse) business opportunities for our members,
promote energy savings, and encourage green and sustainable initiatives within their institutions.
This agreement shall be available to all Members for National coverage and the respondents should
indicate their willingness to extend with national pricing being offered.
E&I reserves the right to make a single award or multiple awards. Multiple awards are made when
determined to be in the best interests of the members.
