District outlines athletic supplier RFP process; vendor 'Game 1' presented under a five-year proposal
Summary
District staff reported an RFP that drew eight applicants and said a vendor called 'Game 1' with an Under Armour contract was selected for a proposed five-year agreement, with evaluation checkpoints in early contract years.
District staff presented the athletic supplier request for proposals (RFP) process and described a recommended vendor. The RFP was released in late May, received eight business applicants, and underwent an evaluation by district administrators. The vendor presented to the board was identified as 'Game 1'; Mr. Bumgarner stated Game 1 operates under an Under Armour contract and that the proposed agreement would be for five years with checkpoints and evaluations during years 1–3 to allow adjustments.
Mr. Bumgarner said the intended contract structure and evaluation timeline are designed to provide flexibility and to 'stretch district dollars' and fundraising across all schools, including elementary and high school athletics. He said the vendor selection and contract would include ongoing monitoring and possible modifications based on early-year performance reviews. No formal vote to award the contract is recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The district said the selected vendor will serve all schools in the district and emphasized evaluation points in year 1, 2 and 3 to assess program performance and potential changes.
