Coaches for Club Sports

The University of Connecticut is soliciting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for coaching services for five specific club sport teams within the UConn Recreation Department: Women's Ice Hockey, Women's Volleyball, Woodsmen, Gymnastics, and Equestrian. The solicitation targets experienced and qualified individuals who can provide professional coaching services for these teams. The RFP (Solicitation Number TL091124) is open to all vendors and requires proposal submissions through the HuskyBuy self-service online portal. The solicitation period runs from September 11, 2024, at 12:00:00 PM EDT to September 30, 2024, at 2:00:00 PM EDT. Interested parties must submit their proposals electronically by the specified deadline, with Terri Lessard serving as the primary contact for any questions or assistance in bid preparation. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, and payment terms will be vendor-specified. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the documents, the primary focus appears to be on the coaches' experience and qualifications for each respective sport.

The RFP does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor are there details about existing infrastructure or technology requirements for integration. The solicitation is deliberately broad and does not specify any budgetary constraints or estimated total contract value. There are no mentioned preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or specific vendor classifications. The lack of detailed financial information suggests flexibility in the procurement approach, with the university primarily seeking to identify qualified coaches who can effectively lead these club sport teams. Vendors are encouraged to submit proposals that demonstrate their coaching expertise and ability to support the athletic development of student-athletes in these specific sports.
