Paragraph 1:

Stephen F. Austin State University, a public university in Texas, is seeking proposals for a company to provide bookstore operations and management services for the university. The successful contractor will be responsible for all aspects of operating the campus bookstore, including providing a full range of merchandise and services, ensuring sufficient textbook quantities, offering competitive pricing, and becoming involved in the university's academic, cultural, and social environment. The initial contract term is seven (7) years, with the option to renew for up to three (3) additional one-year periods. Proposals are due by January 5, 2024, and the university will evaluate the proposals, select finalists, and make a notification of award as early as February 6, 2024.

Paragraph 2:

The university has set a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting goal of 26.0% for this procurement. Respondents must provide a HUB subcontracting plan, regardless of whether they plan to self-perform or subcontract out. The RFP does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set asides, incumbent information, funding requirements or sources, or contract amounts. However, the successful contractor will be responsible for all costs associated with operating the bookstore, except for utility costs, which will be covered by the university.
