International Student Recruitment Services and In-Country Coordinator

San Diego State University issued Request for Proposal 7011 to secure a qualified firm for international student recruitment services and in-country coordinator support. The scope of work includes recruiting and screening prospective students, facilitating interviews, providing project management, conducting data analysis to evaluate recruitment strategies, and offering guidance on immigration and visa processes. The anticipated contract structure consists of a two-year base period with two optional two-year extensions, for a potential total duration of six years. Award decisions are based on a trade-off methodology rather than the lowest price, evaluating proposals on a 111-point scale. The primary evaluation factors are the technical approach and scope of work (35 points), qualifications and personnel experience (30 points), and price (36 points), with additional incentive points available for Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation. Contractors must possess at least five years of experience in international student recruitment and adhere to strict California state laws, including data confidentiality, insurance requirements, and labor standards. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the PlanetBids portal in separate PDF volumes for technical and pricing information.
