Request for Information - Business Consulting Services

The North Carolina Department of Administration, Division of Purchase and Contract, issued an RFI for Business Consulting Services on August 13, 2026, with responses due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. This is market research to inform a potential future statewide term contract; the RFI does not constitute a commitment to acquire services or a basis for binding contracts.

The scope covers strategic planning, operational improvement, organizational development, financial and economic analysis, and related advisory functions. Vendors must submit transmittal letters, company information, detailed service and capability descriptions, representative cost estimates, implementation strategies, timeline estimates, and client references. Presentations may be scheduled with at least two weeks' advance notice. Cost estimates are for planning purposes only and do not constitute formal quotes.

Written questions are due August 20, 2026. A summary of questions and answers will be posted to the electronic Vendor Portal by approximately August 25, 2026. Respondents may designate portions of their submissions as confidential under North Carolina trade secret and proprietary information statutes. All information submitted becomes the property of the Department upon receipt and may be used to develop future solicitations. Responses will not be returned, and the Department will not confirm receipt. Vendors bear their own costs for preparing submissions.
