USG systemwide campus store retail services

The University System of Georgia (USG) is conducting an electronic Request for Proposals (eRFP) to establish a contract for Campus Store Retail Services across six participating institutions: Albany State University, College of Coastal Georgia, Columbus State University, Dalton State College, Georgia State University, and Valdosta State University. The procurement, issued under the State Purchasing Act, seeks a qualified supplier to manage campus store operations using various business models including online course materials stores and hybrid models. The primary objectives include providing comprehensive retail services for campus stores, with the potential for additional USG institutions to be added throughout the contract term. The eRFP was posted on August 6, 2025, with proposals due by September 26, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided information, the solicitation suggests that vendors must demonstrate capability to effectively manage campus store retail services across multiple institutional settings.

The contract appears to be open to multiple types of vendors without explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. The solicitation indicates an enabling contract structure that allows for direct marketing to additional USG institutions, potentially expanding the contract's scope over time. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The contract will enable the successful vendor to provide retail services across multiple campus store models, suggesting flexibility in operational approaches. While no specific award value or budget range is provided, the multi-institutional scope implies a potentially significant contract opportunity. The successful contractor will have the opportunity to market services to other USG institutions, potentially increasing the contract's value and reach beyond the initial six participating institutions.
