The University of Connecticut is seeking proposals for a Club Sport Coach to lead the UConn Crew Club Team during the 2023-2024 academic year through a Request for Proposal (RFP) with solicitation number KA080423A. The procurement is open to experienced and qualified individuals who can provide comprehensive coaching services for the university's crew club. The primary objectives include developing, training, and managing the UConn Crew Club Team throughout the academic year, with an emphasis on athletic performance and team development. Interested candidates must submit their proposals through the HuskyBuy self-service online portal by August 18, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT. A mandatory vendor question period is established from August 5, 2023, at 8:15 AM EDT until August 9, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT, during which potential respondents can seek clarification through the bid portal. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the RFP suggests that qualifications, coaching experience, and ability to meet the team's developmental needs will be key considerations in the selection process.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration. The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified individual coaches without preference for a specific type of vendor. Similarly, the documentation does not disclose an estimated total contract value, budget range, or specific financial terms beyond noting that payment terms will be vendor-specified. The delivery terms are defined as Free On Board Destination, indicating that the selected coach will be responsible for providing services directly to the university. The contract period is clearly defined as the 2023-2024 academic year, suggesting a fixed-term engagement with potential for future renewal based on performance, though no explicit renewal options are mentioned in the available documents.
