UHV Charter Service Men & Women Soccer

The University of Houston-Victoria (UHV) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking bids for charter bus transportation services to support the UHV Men's and Women's Soccer teams during the 2024-2025 season. The University intends to award a contract for one primary and potentially one or two secondary charter bus providers to facilitate 12 specific team travel trips to destinations within Texas, Louisiana, and potentially other regions for conference tournaments and the NAIA National Tournament. The RFP outlines detailed requirements for the charter buses, which must have a minimum of 55 passenger seats, working air conditioning/heating, restrooms, WiFi, and DVD entertainment systems. Respondents must demonstrate at least one year of experience in collegiate athletic travel and provide three collegiate athletic references. The proposal due date is July 19, 2024, and the University reserves the right to award a contract for all or a portion of the requirements. The initial contract term is for one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP provides detailed pricing requirements, including the need for respondents to submit pricing for round-trip transportation, driver expenses, and any required deposits or cancellation fees. However, the RFP does not list any award values or budget ranges for the contract.
