HEFS - Student Travel Services

The District of Columbia's Office of the State Superintendent of Education, specifically the Higher Education Financial Services and Preparatory Programs (HEFS and P2), is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive travel logistics and planning services for the DC High Achievers Program. The procurement targets a specific service requirement involving travel arrangements for sixteen (16) students attending summer enrichment programs at top-tier colleges and universities. The contract opportunity was posted on May 23, 2012, with an identical due date, suggesting an expedited procurement process. The primary deliverables include developing comprehensive travel logistics, potentially encompassing transportation, accommodation, and program-related travel coordination for the selected high-achieving students. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, vendors can likely expect assessment based on their ability to efficiently and effectively manage student travel logistics, ensuring safety, cost-effectiveness, and programmatic alignment.

No specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were mentioned in the contract opportunity description. The solicitation appears to be open to qualified vendors with demonstrable experience in student travel services and logistics planning. There are no indications of incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements for integration. Given the focused nature of the procurement—supporting travel for sixteen students—the potential award value is likely to be relatively modest, potentially ranging between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on the complexity of travel arrangements and associated support services. The short timeline between posting and due date suggests the District of Columbia is seeking a rapid procurement process to support the imminent summer enrichment program schedules for these high-achieving students.
