This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by Central Connecticut State University's Purchasing Department for uniformed, unarmed security guard services to support campus events on an as-needed basis. The solicitation, numbered 2027-01, seeks vendors to provide security personnel for student dances, concerts, athletic games, guest receptions, graduate commencements, and other university-sponsored functions with anticipated attendance ranging from 500 to 5,000 people. Services will be performed at CCSU's New Britain campus during evening, night, and weekend hours. The RFQ was open for quotations from July 31, 2026 through August 26, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT, with submissions directed to Charles Zsebik, Purchasing Manager. The contract term extends from execution through August 30, 2028, with CCSU retaining the right to renew for three additional one-year periods contingent on contractor consent.

Respondents must propose separate hourly rates for security guards and supervisors, with distinct rates for holiday service (New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day), with pricing submitted on a FOB Destination basis and no overtime charges permitted. The contractor is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all required Connecticut licenses and permits under Connecticut Public Act 08-73, conducting comprehensive background checks on all assigned personnel at their own expense, and providing insurance immediately upon selection. Payment is made by invoice after each event with ACH direct-deposit options available. CCSU reserves the right to award contracts to multiple vendors and reject bids in whole or in part. No estimated contract value is stated in the solicitation. Connecticut sales tax and federal excise taxes do not apply to this procurement.
