RFP-2025-050-YR

Broward College is seeking qualified companies to provide comprehensive college tours and transportation services for its federally-funded Upward Bound program through RFP-2025-050-YR. The procurement is specifically targeting experienced vendors capable of delivering two annual college tours for approximately 240 program participants from four local high schools. Required services include air-conditioned transportation, meals, hotel accommodations, interactive campus experiences, and a full-time tour manager for both spring and summer tours. Proposals are due by 2:30 p.m. ET on December 13, 2024, with an anticipated contract term of two years and potential for two additional one-year renewals. The evaluation criteria will focus on vendor experience and qualifications, comprehensive scope of work, pricing structure, and financial capacity. Broward College reserves the right to divide work among multiple respondents or award partial contracts and will conduct subsequent contract negotiations with selected proposers.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The annual budget for these tours is capped at $83,480, with the contract being contingent upon funding availability from the U.S. Department of Education. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no specific technological integration requirements detailed in the procurement documents. The contract will cover transportation and tour services for the Upward Bound program participants across four local high schools, with an emphasis on providing comprehensive educational experiences. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate significant experience in educational tour management, transportation logistics, and working with student groups in an academic enrichment context.
