23-030 (AS) (11) Miscellaneous Consultant Services

The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP #23-030) for Miscellaneous Consultant Services, seeking qualified vendors to provide administrative and instructional contracted services within Bexar County, Texas. The continuous open solicitation aims to establish a multiple-award contract valid from Board of Trustees' approval through June 30, 2026, covering a diverse range of consulting services including professional/staff development training, technology analysis, operations analysis, education consulting, administrative consulting, and translation/interpreting services. Vendors must submit comprehensive electronic proposals through the Bonfire Portal by August 31, 2025, with no opportunity for questions during the solicitation process. Evaluation criteria will focus on best value, considering factors such as vendor reputation, service quality, past district relationships, references, and impact on historically underutilized businesses. Proposers are encouraged to expand upon the Statement of Work to demonstrate their service capabilities, with the district emphasizing that no guaranteed minimum work is assured.

The RFP includes a significant Small, Women, and Minority Business Enterprise (SWMBE) participation goal of 20%, indicating a strong commitment to diversity in vendor selection. Potential vendors must provide various documentation, including representations, certifications, conflict of interest forms, and evidence of compliance with state and federal regulations. Insurance requirements are mandatory, and vendors will need to demonstrate specific qualifications, certifications, and licenses relevant to their proposed consulting services. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the district reserves the right to negotiate separately with proposers and to select or reject any proposals based on their comprehensive evaluation. The solicitation is structured as a flexible, open-ended procurement mechanism designed to supplement the district's internal expertise with specialized, temporary, or short-term professional services across multiple consulting domains.
