Summary of 2027 02_Oct_15_26_Solicitation Document

This Request for Information (RFI) document is issued by Central Connecticut State University for the Central Workforce and Innovation Hub project. The university is soliciting vendor input and capabilities to inform its procurement strategy rather than issuing a formal competitive procurement. Responses to the RFI are due on September 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The solicitation does not include defined line items, specific deliverables, or an estimated contract value, as the university is conducting market research to understand vendor capabilities and available solutions in the market. No site visits, bidder conferences, or award dates are specified in this market-sounding document, as the RFI is designed to gather information that will shape future procurement activities for the Hub initiative.

The RFI contains no defined pricing structure, contract terms, or payment arrangements beyond noting that delivery terms are Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment options. There are no stated set-asides, preferences, or eligibility restrictions; the solicitation is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent contractor information is provided. Central Connecticut State University has not identified specific funding amounts or sources at this stage of the process. Inquiries regarding the RFI should be directed to Charles Zsebik, the procurement contact, at 860-832-0041 or charles.zsebik@ccsu.edu, with correspondence also accepted at Central Connecticut State University, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, Connecticut 06050.
