UGA Off-Campus Student Housing

The University of Georgia is issuing an electronic Request for Proposals (eRFP) to establish a contract for an Off-Campus Student Housing platform, specifically targeting housing solutions for its approximately 40,000-student population in the Athens-Clarke County area. The procurement aims to create a comprehensive housing resource that offers vetted, high-quality housing listings that meet established standards and can effectively serve diverse student housing needs. The contract will be a single award for one year with potential for four additional annual renewals, contingent upon the University's discretion. Proposals will be evaluated based on the highest scoring submission, with responsiveness and responsibility being key criteria for selection. The solicitation was posted on May 23, 2025, with proposals due by June 6, 2025, under the State Purchasing Act (Official Code of Georgia Annotated 50-5-50 et seq.). The selected vendor will be required to develop and maintain a platform that provides reliable, verified housing options that meet specific community and student requirements.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified suppliers capable of meeting the University's housing platform requirements. The contract will be executed through an Agency Contract mechanism, suggesting potential flexibility in vendor selection. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integrations are mentioned in the current documentation. The scope suggests a comprehensive digital platform for housing listings, which implies potential technology development or integration requirements. Although no specific budget range is provided, the scale of the project (serving 40,000 students) indicates a potentially significant contract value. The procurement is specifically relevant to Clayton County, Georgia, with the primary service area being Athens-Clarke County. Interested vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to create a robust, user-friendly housing resource that meets the University of Georgia's stringent standards for student housing options.
