Architectural Design Services for Renovation and Repair Projects of Limited Scope

The University of Texas at El Paso is issuing a Request for Qualifications to select vendors for architectural design services related to renovation and repair projects of limited scope, identified by solicitation number 724-2612-SF under NAICS code 541310. The solicitation is strictly confined to architectural design services, explicitly excluding engineering design services such as MEP and other specialty design functions, though an optional alternate scope for project management services is available, subject to conflict of interest restrictions that prohibit firms serving as Architect of Record from performing project management on the same projects. Respondents must register on the Miner Mall Sourcing Manager website to access all solicitation documents and are required to electronically acknowledge receipt of all addenda, with failure to do so rendering proposals ineligible. Submission must be made electronically by June 4, 2026, at 3:00 PM MST, with a hard copy also required by the same deadline. Financial stability is a key evaluation criterion, requiring submission of the three most recent audited financial statements, though a bank reference letter or bank statement may be accepted as an alternative. Firms must also provide their State Registration Firm number to confirm compliance with professional licensing requirements. The requirement for a HUB Subcontracting Plan has been canceled, and any subcontracting obligations will be addressed on a per-project basis after vendor selection. All work is to be performed in Texas, and proposals must be submitted through the designated portal; no pricing information is requested at this stage as the process is focused on qualifications. Failure to comply with electronic acknowledgment of addenda or submission requirements will result in disqualification.
