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 procurement strategy for the Hub initiative rather than issuing a formal competitive bid. The solicitation contains no defined line items, no estimated contract value, and no specific pricing structure. All vendors are eligible to respond with no stated set-asides, preferences, or eligibility restrictions. Delivery terms are designated as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment arrangements. Inquiries regarding the solicitation should be directed to Charles Zsebik at Central Connecticut State University, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, Connecticut 06050, by phone at 860-832-0041 or by email at charles.zsebik@ccsu.edu.

This RFI functions as a market-sounding vehicle to gather vendor capabilities and input rather than a binding procurement action. No incumbent contractor is identified, and no estimated total contract value is provided at this stage. The solicitation includes supporting documents referenced as the Central Workforce and Innovation Hub RFI and Addendum 1, which contain the detailed scope of work and any modifications to the original solicitation terms.
