About this file
This document is an Addendum to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Stephen F. Austin State University for campus bookstore operations and management. The Addendum provides clarification on questions related to the Spirit Shop, textbook and retail sales breakdowns, the university's student information system, and the potential to have separate vendors for textbook and retail services. The university is open to considering an equitable access, in-tuition solution where all course materials are automatically delivered to students, as well as a vendor that does not utilize subcontractors, including HUB subcontractors. The RFP has a response due date of January 5, 2024 at 5:00 PM CST, and the contract will be for the campus bookstore operations and management.
The RFP does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set asides, incumbent information, funding requirements or sources, or contract amounts. However, it does indicate that a HUB subcontracting plan must be completed for this procurement, regardless of whether the vendor is self-performing or subcontracting out.

4. What is the school’s Student Information System?
Answer: Banner System (Ellucian).
5. Would the institution consider two separate vendors to work in partnership to provide textbook operations and retail services if it deemed more beneficial to the institution as opposed to a single vendor?
Answer: We would entertain this proposal as long as this would not negatively impact operations or the student experience. We would want to see examples and have references of where this model has worked successfully.

Answer: We would entertain this proposal.
7. Does the institution have any Inclusive Access course material adoptions where materials are automatically delivered to the students on a course-by-course basis, and a course fee is included as part of the cost of attendance? If so, what percentage?
Answer: We do not have this model currently.
8. Would the institution consider a vendor that does not work with subcontractors, including HUB subcontractors?
Answer: Yes, but a HUB subcontracting Plan has to be completed for this procurement regardless if you are self-performing or subcontracting out.
