Scope: To provide rental uniforms for the 265 custodians and maintenance workers in School Facilities Department. This procurement of uniforms is being awarded to UniFirst Corporation on the basis of “Best Value” utilizing the Sourcewell purchasing cooperative Contract #040920-UFC, where UniFirst Corporation was awarded and ranked #1 in the Sourcewell Request for Proposal.
