Real Estate Brokerage Services

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Real Estate Brokerage Services across Texas, seeking to pre-qualify and establish open agreements with one or more real estate brokerage firms. The solicitation targets firms specializing in leasing retail, office, and medical spaces, as well as purchasing and selling land and buildings. Comprehensive services include dispositions, acquisitions, lease representations, contract negotiations, and optional advisory services. The RFP aims to select multiple vendors to ensure geographic coverage and service capabilities, with vendors expected to provide professional real estate advice, market analysis, transaction management, and strategic planning. Evaluation criteria will focus on vendor qualifications, project team composition, and approach to services. The proposal was posted on August 21, 2025, with responses due by September 18, 2025. Most services will be compensated by transaction counterparties (sellers, purchasers, or lessees) rather than MDACC directly.

The RFP includes a significant Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participation goal of 26%, indicating a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion in vendor selection. This requirement suggests that smaller, minority-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises will be encouraged to participate in the solicitation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the multi-vendor approach implies flexibility in contract values and scope. The procurement strategy allows MDACC to maintain a diverse pool of real estate brokerage services capable of handling multiple simultaneous service requests across different geographic regions of Texas. The open agreement structure suggests that selected vendors will be pre-qualified to provide services on an as-needed basis, with the potential for ongoing engagement based on performance and organizational needs.
