About this opportunity
The Technical College System of Georgia on behalf of Chattahoochee Technical College issued an RFP for campus bookstore operations across seven campuses, with proposals originally due May 24, 2021, but the solicitation was cancelled on October 11, 2021, due to the need to redevelop requirements and cost sheets; TCSG will re-issue the solicitation at a later date.
The scope covers bookstore operations serving CTC's seven campuses: Appalachian (Jasper), Austell, Canton, Marietta, Mountain View (Marietta), Paulding (Dallas), and Woodstock. CTC is a multi-campus, two-year post-secondary technical college governed by the Technical College System of Georgia and accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
A mandatory virtual pre-bid conference was held April 15, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. EST. Addendum 1, posted May 15, 2021, contained questions, answers, and bookstore floor plans; answers to bidder questions were posted by May 10, 2021. Two proposals were submitted. Follett received a combined evaluation score of 616 points (183 cost, 433 technical), compared to BJJ Corporation's 606 points (300 cost, 306 technical). The estimated contract award amount identified in the Notice of Intent to Award was $203,030.38 for an open agency contract.
BJJ Corporation (Textbook Brokers) protested the award on September 13, 2021, contending that Follett should not have received 27 points for a Point of Sale System, characterizing the POS system as a necessary industry-standard tool providing no added value. The protest claimed that removing those points would have elevated BJJ Corporation above Follett by 17 points. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services closed the protest file on October 5, 2021, after TCSG cancelled the RFP, rendering the protest moot. Suppliers should monitor the Georgia Procurement Registry for the reissued solicitation. The issuing officer is Toyia M. Hunter, CPPB, at thunter@tcsg.edu or 404-679-1773.
