MSU Bozeman Study Abroad Programs - Multiple award

MSU Bozeman's Office of International Programs is issuing a multi-award solicitation, RFP-27-01, to establish partnerships with multiple travel providers for the development and delivery of customized international and domestic faculty-led programs. The university is seeking partners capable of providing various service levels, including full-service programs with or without guides, as well as standalone travel agent services. Key priorities for the selected vendors include comprehensive logistical support, competitive pricing to reduce student costs, and robust student safety and emergency support. Proposals are due by November 17, 2026, via the eMACS portal. To be considered responsive, offerors must accept several institutional prerequisites, including the university's standard terms and conditions, insurance requirements, debarment clauses, and a contract addendum ensuring compliance with Montana law. Evaluation includes a pass/fail assessment of financial stability, which may require the submission of audited financial statements from the three preceding years. Additionally, vendors must disclose any previous litigation and provide details regarding subcontractor usage and international wire payment fees. Awarded contracts will be routed for signature via DocuSign, with payment terms set at Net 30.
