Request for Qualification for District-Wide Engineering Services for Fire Protection, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

Austin Community College (ACC) District is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide District-Wide Engineering Services for Fire Protection through an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, as detailed in Request for Qualification (RFQ) No. 925-25-253-M-JA-RFQ. The solicitation requires electronic qualification responses to be submitted to the Procure to Pay (P2P) Department by Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 12:00 PM Central Standard Time. An optional solicitation conference will be held on July 7, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. via Zoom Virtual Meeting, providing potential respondents an opportunity to gather additional information. The primary objective is to establish a pool of qualified engineering firms capable of delivering comprehensive fire protection engineering services across the ACC District. Interested firms must submit their qualifications electronically through ACC's P2P website or the Workday Spend platform, with Jon Airheart serving as the sole point of contact for the solicitation. The RFQ requires firms to demonstrate expertise in fire protection engineering, with potential evaluation criteria likely focusing on technical capabilities, past performance, and relevant experience in educational institutional settings.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the solicitation appears to be open to qualified engineering firms with demonstrated expertise in fire protection services. The IDIQ contract structure suggests multiple vendors may be selected, creating a flexible pool of service providers for the ACC District's ongoing engineering needs. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the current documentation. The solicitation does not specify a precise award value or budget range, which is typical for qualification-based procurement processes where firms are first evaluated on their capabilities before discussing specific project scopes and associated costs. Potential respondents should note that ACC's business offices and campus locations will be closed on Friday, July 4, 2025, in observance of Independence Day, which may impact communication and submission timelines. Firms interested in participating are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review the complete solicitation documents to understand the comprehensive qualification requirements and submission process.
