2526-12 RFP Management for Campus Store Retail Services, Districtwide

The State Center Community College District (SCCCD) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to manage its campus store retail services through a transition from a traditional outsourced bookstore model to a hybrid business model. The current setup includes four physical bookstores at Clovis Community College, Fresno City College, Madera Community College, and Reedley College, each with its own Course Materials Service Center and website. The new hybrid approach encompasses two options: the first involves managing physical campus stores and their associated course materials service centers and websites, while the second focuses on operating an online course materials store that serves all SCCCD colleges and academic programs, in collaboration with campus store management. The solicitation, titled "2526-12 RFP Management for Campus Store Retail Services, Districtwide," is a formal request for proposals due by November 20, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range between five and fifteen million dollars, reflecting the scope and scale of the retail services to be managed. Interested vendors are directed to submit proposals electronically via the PlanetBids Vendor Portal and can contact Teresa Campagna for further inquiries. The district emphasizes its rights to accept or reject proposals and to make awards at its discretion, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive and competitive proposal process. The contract aims to enhance the management and delivery of campus store services across the district, supporting both physical and online retail operations to better serve students and faculty.
