Rational Commercial Kitchen Equipment Supply

Northwest Arkansas Community College seeks pricing to supply specific Rational commercial kitchen equipment for the Brightwater Culinary School, including Rational ICP20, Rational ICP6 on ICP10, and Rational IVario 2S. The buyer prohibits make and model substitutions and requires the vendor to perform work onsite in Bentonville, Arkansas. Only onshore United States organizations that are Partners in Education members may bid, and vendors should be located within a two-hour radius of Bentonville, Arkansas. Prospective contractors must seal and mail their signed bid signature page, completed official price sheet, and a USB flash drive containing a copy of the response packet to Central Receiving or hand-deliver it to the Purchasing office by 10:00 a.m. CST on October 13, 2026. The buyer plans to award a single contract starting in October 2026 to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest total cost meeting all requirements. The contract terms stipulate NET 30 terms and FOB destination delivery, but the document does not state a budget or question deadline.
