23-030 (AS) (14) Miscellaneous Consultant Services

The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) is conducting a continuous open solicitation for Miscellaneous Consultant Services through RFP #23-030, seeking qualified vendors to provide a broad range of professional services across the district. The procurement covers specialized consulting areas including professional and staff development training, technology analysis, operations analysis, education consulting, administrative consulting, translation and interpreting services, and other appropriate consulting activities. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire Portal by December 15, 2025, with all responses requiring comprehensive documentation such as representations, certifications, EDGAR compliance forms, HB 89 verification, and reference materials. The district will evaluate proposals on a pass/fail basis with all criteria weighted equally, focusing on submittal completeness, demonstrated ability to meet K-12 district needs, appropriate pricing, and quality of references. The contract term will run from Board of Trustees approval through June 30, 2026, with the district intending to establish a multiple-award contract for as-needed consulting services across its 79-square-mile jurisdiction serving approximately 306,943 residents.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations, though vendors must meet substantial insurance and bonding requirements, including $500,000 comprehensive general liability coverage and $1,000,000 excess liability for contracts exceeding $25,000. Performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of the contract price are mandatory for contracts of $25,000 or more. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the district reserves the right to award to single or multiple vendors and may adopt contracts through the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance with other member school districts. Pricing submitted by vendors must remain firm for 120 calendar days from the proposal opening date, and quotes are subject to district funding availability with no guaranteed minimum work volume. The district explicitly states that all prices are F.O.B. destination with prepaid shipping and handling, and they are exempt from state, local, and federal excise taxes. Vendors must also complete a detailed pricing sheet documenting their specific consulting services, qualifications, certifications, and estimated compensation structures.
