This contract will be issued to vendors to perform HVAC maintenance, HVAC repair, and HVAC installation at Delaware Technical and Community College's various campuses throughout the State. Pursuant to 29 Del. C. 6904(e) respectively, if no state contract exists for a certain good or service, covered agencies may procure that certain good or service under another agency's contract so long as the arrangement is agreeable to all parties.
