23-030 (AS) (15) Miscellaneous Consultant Services

The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) in Bexar County, Texas, has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #23-030(15) for Miscellaneous Consultant Services, seeking qualified vendors to provide specialized professional services on a continuous open solicitation basis. The procurement targets a wide range of consulting services including professional and staff development training, technology analysis, operations consulting, education consulting, administrative consulting, translation and interpreting services, and other district-wide support services. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals including mandatory forms such as Representation and Certification, EDGAR Compliance, HB 89 Israel Boycott Verification, and other required documentation. The evaluation will be conducted on a pass/fail basis, assessing submittal completeness, alignment with K-12 district needs, appropriate pricing, and reference quality. Key deadlines include a proposal due date of January 15, 2026, with all bids remaining firm for 120 calendar days from the proposal opening date, and the contract term extending from Board of Trustees approval through June 30, 2026.

The RFP appears to be open to multiple vendors, with the district intending to establish a multiple-award contract without guaranteed minimum work amounts. Insurance requirements include Comprehensive Automobile Liability ($500,000 CSL), Comprehensive General Liability ($500,000/$1,000,000 General Aggregate), and Professional Liability ($500,000) where applicable. Performance and Payment Bonds or Irrevocable Letters of Credit are mandatory for contracts exceeding $25,000. The district includes provisions for Small, Women, and Minority Business Enterprise (SWMBE) participation through the SWMBE Program Identification Form, suggesting potential set-aside or preference considerations for diverse businesses. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the RFP indicates that award is contingent upon availability of District funding. The district reserves the right to negotiate pricing, terms, and conditions, and may implement a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) process to optimize vendor selection and contract terms.
