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 released on August 25, 2026, with responses due by September 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EDT. This solicitation serves as a market-sounding vehicle rather than a formal procurement action, designed to gather vendor input and capabilities to inform the university's subsequent procurement strategy for the Hub initiative. The university has not established a defined contract term, project timeline, or site visit requirements within this RFI phase. No bidders' conference or formal award date has been scheduled as part of this information-gathering process.

The RFI contains no defined line items, estimated contract value, or formal pricing structure, as vendors are being solicited for capability and service offerings only. There are no stated set-asides, minority preferences, or eligibility restrictions limiting participation in this market-sounding opportunity. The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent contractor is identified, and payment arrangements are to be specified by individual vendors in their responses. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination. Inquiries regarding the RFI should be directed to Charles Zsebik, the procurement contact, at Central Connecticut State University, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, Connecticut 06050, by telephone at 860-832-0041 or by email at charles.zsebik@ccsu.edu.
