Acquisition By Lease - UNC Greensboro - Student Off-Campus Housing

The University of North Carolina Greensboro is soliciting proposals under solicitation number UNCG-2026-001 to lease off-campus residential housing for approximately 50 to 100 students. The university seeks single-bedroom units or multi-bedroom apartments, preferably in contiguous blocks, located within two miles of campus with easy access to public transportation. Preferred facilities should not exceed five floors, feature interior hallways for safety, and be in good overall condition. Each bedroom must be furnished with a desk, desk chair, dresser, and a twin extra-long bed. The initial performance period is from August 1, 2027, to July 31, 2028, with a preference for academic year leases from August to May and the possibility of four one-year renewal options. Award decisions will be based on the best interest of the university and compliance with minimum specifications, including safety standards such as sprinkler systems, audible and visual fire alarms, and specific lighting requirements. The lessor is responsible for all security, 24/7 emergency maintenance with a half-day response time, and ensuring all staff pass criminal background checks. Financial terms require a flat monthly fee paid in advance, funded by student housing receipts rather than state appropriations, with no security deposits charged. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 4:00 PM on October 16, 2026, and must include floor plans, a preventative maintenance schedule, and proof of general liability insurance of at least 1,000,000 dollars.
