23-030 (AS) (10) Miscellaneous Consultant Services

The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) is seeking qualified vendors through Request for Proposal (RFP) #23-030 for Miscellaneous Consultant Services, a multiple-award contract covering professional and administrative services. The procurement is designed to secure consultants for a wide range of services including professional/staff development training, technology analysis, operations analysis, educational consulting, translations, and interpreting services. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire Portal by July 30, 2025, with all documentation uploaded as signed PDF files. The contract period will run from the Board of Trustees' approval date through June 30, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on vendors' demonstrated capabilities, with pricing assessed on a pass/fail basis and the district reserving the right to negotiate terms and select vendors based on best overall value. Key qualifications include providing proof of insurance, completing required compliance forms, and demonstrating professional expertise across various consulting domains.

The district has established a goal of achieving at least 20 percent participation from Small, Women, and Minority Business Enterprises (SWMBE), indicating a strong preference for diverse vendor participation. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is funded through the district's budget with no guaranteed minimum work volume. Vendors will be required to complete comprehensive documentation including Israel boycott prohibition forms, conflict of interest disclosures, and criminal background check authorizations. The district serves approximately 306,943 people across 79 square miles in the San Antonio area, suggesting potential for substantial consulting opportunities. Successful proposers will need to provide competitive rates, professional references, and demonstrate substantial capability to meet the varied consulting needs of a K-12 school district. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation, and the RFP appears to be establishing a new pool of consulting service providers.
