Virtual post tour

The Virginia Military Institute (VMI) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish a cooperative contract for Virtual Tour Software, Hosting, and Google tie-in. The purpose is to provide an additional recruitment tool, particularly for students with PELL Grants, by allowing them to virtually "visit" the campus regardless of financial or geographic limitations. The RFP outlines the required features of the virtual tour, including content management, image capture, customer-generated content upload, and Google integration to increase SEO and reach. Proposals are due on February 20, 2024 at 2:00 PM EST, and the initial contract term is from the date of award through June 30, 2029, with five successive one-year renewal options. Pricing will be a consideration in the evaluation, along with the offeror's plan, qualifications, experience, implementation and support, and small/women/minority business participation.

The solicitation is open to public bodies, public or private health or educational institutions, and the VASCUPP cooperative, and participation is voluntary. Successful offerors must register with the eVA e-procurement system and pay the associated vendor transaction fees. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractors are not listed, and the available budget or award value range is not provided.
