Consortium Course Sharing Platform and Services

Texas State University is seeking a vendor to implement a comprehensive consortium course sharing platform that enables seamless access to online courses across a network of regionally accredited institutions. The platform must support TXST students in accessing courses unavailable at their home institution, particularly to assist at-risk students in staying enrolled and on track to graduate. Simultaneously, it will allow TXST to fill open seats in its own online courses with students from partner schools, generating revenue and broadening its educational impact. Core functionalities include inter-institutional enrollment, automated credit and grade transfer, coordination of financial aid, and streamlined tuition processing—all within a secure, vetted consortium environment. The solicitation, designated as 754-TXST-2026-RFP-480-VPGOI, is open to responsive vendors through the TXST MarketPlace (Jaggaer) system with a submission deadline of June 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CT. The project falls under NAICS code 518210 and is managed by Texas State University, a state-level education agency operating in Texas. While the scope clearly defines operational goals and technical expectations, specific pricing structure, performance timeline, evaluation criteria, contract clauses, and acceptance protocols are not detailed in the available documentation. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the designated portal, and no alternative submission methods are permitted.
