This is an Addendum 2 to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Texas Southern University (TSU) for a Master Lease for Student Housing. The addendum extends the solicitation due date for RFP #717-26-719 to Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. TSU seeks sealed proposals to establish a master lease agreement for approximately 400 to 600 student housing beds in facilities located within five miles of the TSU campus in Houston, Texas. The initial lease term is two years with options to renew annually upon mutual agreement, with premises required to be available for occupancy no later than June 1, 2026. Respondents must submit two paper copies and a flash drive version of their proposals to the TSU Purchasing Office, and TSU's evaluation committee will conduct site visits as part of the selection process.

Respondents must provide comprehensive all-inclusive pricing on a gross rent per unit basis covering per-unit rent, common area maintenance, security, facility repairs, capital maintenance, pest control, trash removal, owner insurance, property taxes, and all utilities including water, sewer, electricity, internet, wireless connectivity, basic cable television, heat, and hot water. The evaluation criteria assign weighted scores as follows: Letter of Interest (5%), Property Management Plan (25%), Organizational Qualification and Experience (25%), Cost (35%), and References (10%). TSU prefers a single property solution but reserves the right to award agreements to one or multiple respondents. Respondents must provide a minimum of three professional references with preference given to higher education institutions similar in size and complexity to TSU. The RFP documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendors, or current contractors. All proposals are subject to the Texas Public Information Act unless clearly marked as proprietary or confidential information, and respondents must comply with standard terms and conditions including antitrust requirements, debarment status verification, and various federal and state regulatory requirements.
