This document is a Response to Offeror Questions for a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the University of South Dakota (USD) for Travel Agency Services, RFP# USD-02072024. The RFP is seeking proposals from travel agencies to manage and coordinate the travel needs for all University departments and organizations, including athletic teams, academic areas, and administrative departments. USD books approximately 2,000 flights per year averaging $1,000,000 in flight expenditures. The RFP indicates that USD will consider proposals from agencies for a subset of the required services, such as only athletic travel or only academic/administrative travel, and that group travel must be included in any proposal. Offerors may submit inquiries for clarification, and USD will respond and post the responses on the state's e-procurement system.

The RFP does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements or sources, or contract amounts. However, it indicates that USD will highly encourage/recommend that all travel be managed by the awarded Travel Management Company, although it will not be mandated.
