RFP 739-SL3722874 - Student Prospect Digital Profile Solution

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) 739-SL3722874 for a Student Prospect Digital Profile Solution, seeking a comprehensive digital platform to integrate admissions processes across its multiple campuses in Abilene, Amarillo, Dallas/Fort Worth, Lubbock, and Permian Basin. The solution must provide a common portal with digital profiles and repositories for prospective students, enabling centralized recruitment and application management. The RFP requires detailed pricing information across three years, including licensing costs, annual recurring expenses, installation/customization fees, integration costs, and training expenses. Evaluation criteria will be weighted 50% on pricing, 10% on vendor experience and reputation, and 40% on product/service specifications. The university will conduct a comprehensive assessment considering purchase price, vendor reputation, service quality, institutional alignment, past relationships, and total long-term cost. Proposals are due on October 13, 2025, with an anticipated contract term of three years from execution, expiring around August 31, 2029, and options for two additional one-year renewals. TTUHSC prefers online submission through the TechBid system.

The RFP requires proposers to submit a HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Subcontracting Plan, indicating a focus on supporting diverse business participation. Vendors must provide references from similar implementations in medical higher education and demonstrate compliance with state and federal requirements. Proposers should have experience in developing digital student recruitment platforms specifically tailored to medical and health sciences educational institutions. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the solution and multi-campus implementation suggest a significant potential contract value. The university will prioritize vendors that can demonstrate robust digital profile capabilities, seamless integration across multiple campuses, and a track record of successful implementations in higher education, particularly in medical and health sciences programs. Compliance with institutional needs, technology integration capabilities, and the ability to support diverse student recruitment strategies will be critical evaluation factors.
