International Student Recruiting Services

Texas State University (TXST) is seeking qualified international student recruiting agents to promote its academic programs and intensive English instruction, and to find prospective students to enroll at the university. The contract will be non-exclusive with a one-year term and options to renew for four additional years. Responses to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) are due by October 24, 2023, and the university plans to notify successful respondent(s) by November 6, 2023, with the contract expected to be executed by December 15, 2023, and work beginning on January 1, 2024. TXST will pay the successful respondent(s) a 20% commission on the net tuition charges per term for each non-U.S. resident student enrolled. The selection criteria include the number of successfully enrolled students, the number of countries students have been recruited from, the number of established partnerships, and the number of years the agency has been in the international student recruiting business.

The procurement opportunity is open to any qualified respondents, and the university has determined that subcontracting opportunities are not probable, so a HUB Subcontracting Plan is not required. The solicitation does not provide any details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements and sources, or other salient information.
