AURORA — The contract to be the official ball supplier during CHSAA postseason games is open to bids through Jan. 26, assistant commissioner Jenn Roberts-Uhlig said this week.
Currently, the contract is owned by Wilson, and has been for more than 25 years.
The bid process is open to any ball manufacturer or company that can support the needs of all sports where the balls would be used. Sports covered under the contract include football, basketball, golf, tennis, softball, volleyball, baseball and soccer.
Once selected, the new contract would go into place starting with the 2016-17 season. All balls used in the postseason would be mandated by CHSAA under the new contract.
Specific questions can be directed to Roberts-Uhlig at jrobertsuhlig@chsaa.org.
