Texas A&M University, Athletics is soliciting Request for Qualifications responses to establish a pool of vendors for massage therapy services for student athletes at its College Station main campus, with questions due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. CST and proposals due November 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST. The source names no set-aside, preference, or mandatory vehicle. Proposals may be submitted by USPS or express mail, or electronically through AggieBid.

Services are provided on request across all sports programs, including football, baseball, and volleyball, with Texas A&M covering all travel-related costs. Respondents must submit three professional references from clients of comparable services within the last five years, with higher-education clients preferred. Vendors must maintain workers' compensation at statutory limits, commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence, business auto liability of $1 million combined single limit, and excess/umbrella liability of $5 million per occurrence and aggregate. Certificates of insurance naming the Board of Regents and Texas A&M University System as additional insureds are due before work begins. No subcontracting plan is required because subcontracting opportunities are not probable.

The agreement is effective for five years, with terms, conditions, and qualifications reviewed and negotiated annually. Proposals will be evaluated on a best-value basis using three weighted criteria: references (40 points), experience in comparable projects (30 points), and vendor qualifications and certifications (30 points). Addenda will be posted by November 11, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. CST. Evaluation is projected for November, with award anticipated in November or December 2026. Responses must remain valid for at least 180 days from the submittal deadline.
