Programming Services

The Texas A&M University System has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Programming Services, seeking to establish a master services agreement with multiple firms specializing in facility programming and Program of Requirements (POR) development. The RFQ (No. RFQ01-FPC-25-243) targets companies with expertise in developing comprehensive documentation for construction projects across the system's 11 universities. Qualified firms will be responsible for creating detailed PORs that capture project requirements, define project scope, and provide critical information for design architects and engineers. The primary deliverables include comprehensive space analysis, detailed cost estimating, and thorough documentation to support project planning and execution. Submissions must be submitted electronically by July 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an initial contract term anticipated to be two years and potential renewal options for up to three additional one-year terms. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the RFQ suggests a focus on demonstrated expertise in higher education facility programming and the ability to develop comprehensive project requirements documentation.

The procurement includes a 20% Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) participation goal, indicating a commitment to supporting diverse and local business participation. The opportunity is open to firms with significant experience in facility programming, particularly those with proven capabilities in higher education project planning. While no specific budget range is provided, the services will be project-based, with individual assignments to be negotiated and priced separately. The procurement appears to be creating a pool of qualified vendors that can support programming needs across various Texas A&M System locations, with the potential for multiple firms to be selected. The Program of Requirements template indicates potential project budgets could be substantial, with the example document showing a total project budget of $73,021,000, suggesting significant potential for future programming work. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, and the RFQ does not indicate specific technological integration requirements beyond the programming and documentation services being sought.
