Capitol Region Education Council issued this furniture and equipment opportunity in Connecticut, referenced as solicitation number 36697. It was published on June 30, 2026, and responses are due by August 13, 2026.
Capitol Region Education Council in Connecticut is using this solicitation to procure furniture work. Public buyers typically advertise this kind of work as an Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Request for Qualifications (RFQ), depending on whether the selection is price-driven, qualifications-driven, or both. Bidders responding to a furniture solicitation in Connecticut are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Contracts of this type are usually awarded under the issuing agency's published procurement rules, with bid bond, performance bond, and reference requirements set in the solicitation documents. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Connecticut so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a bid for this IFB, review the full solicitation documents for Capitol Region Education Council's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the August 13, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Vendors that have not previously contracted with Capitol Region Education Council should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
