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 issued on August 25, 2026, with responses required by September 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The university is conducting market research to solicit vendor input and capabilities regarding the Hub initiative to inform subsequent procurement strategy. The RFI contains no defined line items, estimated contract value, or pricing structure, as it functions as a market-sounding vehicle rather than a formal competitive procurement. No specific site visits or bidders' conferences are mentioned in the solicitation.

The RFI is open to all vendors with no stated set-asides, preferences, or eligibility restrictions. No incumbent information is provided. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment arrangements. The solicitation contains no defined funding requirements or contract amounts, as this is an information-gathering phase preceding formal procurement. 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.
