Hi Debra, All the piano supply houses I know of accept a purchase order from a university. IOW, the university will receive the same treatment and price as an individual piano technician. Or, if your university is mostly using purchase cards instead of PO¹s, they will accept p-cards just like credit cards. So order direct, as the music department (or as ³Facilities² or whoever is footing the bill) and install it yourself. Not a particularly hard job, and I¹m sure there are several posts describing techniques in the archives. [What does s.o.p. stand for, standard operating procedure?]. I have purchased trucks from Jansen, Schaff, and Pianotek. All provide good units.
