Hotel Accommodations for Temporary Student Housing

Texas Woman’s University is soliciting proposals for temporary off-campus hotel accommodations to house students enrolled at its Denton campus during the Fall 2026 semester. The request, identified as RFP-731-26-013-SR, was posted on July 21, 2026, with responses due by August 5, 2026. Proposers must be responsive and responsible vendors capable of providing secure, reliable, and student-friendly lodging solutions that meet the university’s operational and safety standards. The accommodations must be located in Texas and able to support the full duration of the semester with flexibility for student move-in and move-out timelines. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside for small or disadvantaged businesses and is open to all qualified providers. All proposals must be submitted through the Texas SmartBuy portal and should demonstrate compliance with all contractual requirements including liability coverage, clean living environments, accessibility, and 24/7 support services. Jamie Cogdell serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and can be reached via email at twubids@twu.edu or by phone at 940-898-3671. The university emphasizes the need for vendors to provide clear pricing structures, occupancy capacities, location details, availability of amenities such as Wi-Fi and meal options, transportation arrangements to campus, and documentation of compliance with local regulations and student housing best practices. Proposals will be evaluated based on cost-effectiveness, operational capacity, reliability, and alignment with TWU’s commitment to student well-being. Selected vendors will be expected to enter into a formal agreement to deliver these services for the Fall 2026 term, with potential for future renewals based on performance and availability.
