Market Demand and Construction Cost Feasibility Study

Fayetteville State University is seeking qualified firms or consultant teams to perform an independent feasibility study evaluating the market demand and construction costs for a proposed farmers market facility, tentatively named the FSU Bronco Market. The study must deliver objective, data-driven analysis to determine whether the concept warrants further development, identify a supportable scale, estimate capital cost ranges, and assess the viability of a phased implementation. The University has not predetermined the location, facility design, ownership structure, operator, or timeline, ensuring the study remains unbiased and focused on evidence-based recommendations. Proposals must be submitted by July 28, 2026, with the solicitation issued under number 58-RFP260008 and posted on July 15, 2026. The project is administered by FSU in North Carolina, with Victoria McAllister designated as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The findings will inform whether and how the facility might proceed, serving as the foundational step for any future development decisions.
