Web Hosting Providers

The Texas A&M University System ("A&M System") is seeking proposals from qualified website hosting firms to provide web hosting solutions for its universities and agencies ("Members"). The intent is to establish a master services agreement with one or more firms to meet the hosting needs of the A&M System Members. The RFP outlines requirements for features and capabilities such as accessibility, availability, security, scalability, support, and automation across various hosting categories including Hannon Hill Cascade CMS, Managed WordPress, no-code website builders, and generic managed hosting. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM Central Time on April 16, 2024, with the A&M System reserving the right to interview top-ranked respondents as part of the evaluation process.

The A&M System will require a good faith effort from the selected vendor(s) to subcontract with Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) for at least 15% of the scope of work. The RFP does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent providers, or funding sources. However, the A&M System emphasizes the need for respondents to demonstrate their capabilities across various hosting features and compliance standards to be considered for the master services agreement, which will serve the hosting needs of the A&M System Members in Brazos County and College Station City, Texas.
