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. The university is seeking qualified vendor input and information to inform the development strategy for the Hub initiative rather than issuing a formal procurement. The solicitation contains no defined line items, no site visits, and no bidder's conference. No award date, contract term, or renewal options are specified in this market-sounding phase of the project.

The RFI has no estimated total contract value, no pricing structure, and no incumbent information listed. Delivery terms are designated as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment arrangements to be negotiated. The solicitation is open to all vendors with no stated set-asides, preferences, or eligibility restrictions. Inquiries should be directed to Charles Zsebik, procurement contact at Central Connecticut State University, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, Connecticut 06050, at 860-832-0041 or charles.zsebik@ccsu.edu. This RFI serves as a preliminary information-gathering tool to assess market capabilities and vendor interest before launching formal procurement procedures.
