This is Addendum #2 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by Texas A&M University-Texarkana (TAMUT) Business Services for architectural design services. The RFQ seeks to establish an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement for architectural services to support campus projects on an as-needed basis. The procurement targets qualified architectural firms with demonstrated expertise serving institutions of higher education. Proposals were due by 11:30 PM Central Time on February 8, 2026, with a questions deadline of January 28, 2026. The resulting agreement will become effective March 1, 2026, with an initial three-year term and options to renew for up to two additional one-year terms contingent on mutual agreement. TAMUT reserves the right to select multiple respondents to ensure adequate coverage for main campus operations in Texarkana, Texas, and other A&M System member institutions have the option to utilize any awarded firms for their own institutional or agency-managed construction projects.

Addendum #2 provides clarification on two significant questions submitted by prospective vendors regarding subcontracting and consultant team composition. TAMUT clarified that while subcontracting opportunities are not anticipated for this RFQ, projects arising from the IDIQ Master Agreement may require subcontracting in the future, with VetHUB requirements to be addressed individually for specific assignments as needed. TAMUT also confirmed that submission of a proposed full consultant team and qualifications is not necessary or expected, as consultant teams will be determined on an as-needed basis for individual projects or task orders. Vendors are required to acknowledge this addendum in their bid package by signing and submitting a copy or noting it on the Bid Form. All proposals must remain valid for a minimum of 90 days from submission.
