This is a Request for Information (RFI) solicitation document issued by Central Connecticut State University for the Central Workforce and Innovation Hub project. The RFI was open to all qualified vendors from August 25, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. EDT through September 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The university is seeking vendor information and input regarding capabilities and approaches to inform the subsequent procurement strategy for the Hub initiative. The solicitation contains no defined line items, no specific scope of work details provided in the header documentation, and no established contract term or renewal options outlined. This RFI functions as a market-sounding vehicle rather than a formal procurement with binding contractual obligations.

The solicitation specifies no estimated total contract value and no pricing structure, as vendors are invited to propose their own payment terms. Delivery terms are established as Free On Board Destination. There are no identified set-asides, preferences, or eligibility restrictions limiting vendor participation. No incumbent contractor information is provided. The procurement contact is Charles Zsebik at Central Connecticut State University, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, Connecticut 06050, reachable at 860-832-0041 or charles.zsebik@ccsu.edu. Supporting documentation includes the main RFI document along with two addendums, which contain the detailed scope and requirements for vendor responses.
