KUCR Kite Consulting Services Initiative RFP

The University of Kansas is soliciting proposals under the KUCR Kite Consulting Services Initiative RFP, identified by solicitation number 3218704, with a posted date of July 27, 2026, and a firm deadline for submissions on August 7, 2026, at 8:00 PM Central Time. This is a negotiated procurement conducted under Kansas Statute 76-769, with evaluation and award decisions managed by the Procurement Negotiation Committee. The contract is structured as an indefinite quantity agreement, allowing for flexible service volume over time, and bidders must comply with KU’s pricing policies and evaluation criteria as outlined in the RFP Snapshot. All responses must be submitted electronically through the ION WAVE system, with critical information entered in the Attributes tab, key milestones documented in the Activities tab, and supporting documentation uploaded in the Response Attachments tab. Required fields marked with a red star must be completed to ensure submission validity. Bidders are responsible for all costs associated with proposal preparation and must ensure their submissions are complete, accurate, and binding, as all provided information becomes part of the contractual obligation. Technical support for the ION WAVE platform is available during business hours from Rob Kottenbrock at [email hidden] and after hours via phone at [phone hidden] or email at [email hidden], though neither party can answer questions regarding the solicitation’s requirements, commodity, or evaluation process—those inquiries must be directed exclusively to the assigned Procurement Officer. The University reserves the right to request supplemental information, conduct demonstrations, and negotiate with selected vendors, and the solicitation includes all implied requirements necessary for contract performance.
