Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System is seeking a qualified vendor to manage a faculty-led choral performance program in Prague, Czech Republic, scheduled for May 10–17, 2027. The program aims to provide Minnesota State University, Mankato students with immersive musical experiences at historic and cultural sites, with the vendor responsible for all logistical, safety, and performance arrangements—ensuring faculty are not burdened with operational tasks. The vendor must already have an established track record delivering similar education abroad programs and be capable of customization to meet specific academic and cultural goals outlined in Attachments A and B, which detail travel management, venue coordination, risk protocols, and learning outcomes centered on intercultural competence and musicianship. The contract will run for approximately ten months, effective August 20, 2026, or upon execution of the last signature, with failure to sign by that date allowing Minnesota State to pursue alternative vendors. Proposals must be submitted via the Minnesota State e-procurement system by 2:00 PM CT on July 15, 2026, with no exceptions for hard copies or email submissions. Evaluation is based on five weighted factors: cost/value at 30%, work plan detailing deliverables and scheduling at 25%, respondent qualifications and personnel expertise at 20%, completeness and thoroughness of the response at 20%, and strict adherence to Minnesota State’s terms and conditions at 5%. The award will be based on best overall value, not lowest price, with an emphasis on quality of service delivery. Vendors must disclose any organizational conflicts of interest, submit resumes without personal contact details, complete an Affidavit of Non-Collusion, and provide detailed risk and emergency management plans. Small businesses with Tribal Government, Educationally Disadvantaged, or Veteran-Owned status may qualify for preference points if certified through Minnesota State’s Supplier Diversity Program. All proposals must align with U.S. and Czech regulatory requirements, including Clery Act, Title IX, accessibility, and health insurance standards, and the vendor must manage all aspects of student safety, lodging, transportation, and performance logistics in Prague with no physical goods to be delivered. Contract award is not guaranteed, and Minnesota State reserves the right to decline all proposals.

Minnesota State prefers to hire a vendor that is already fully developed and used by an existing client base, but which can be customized to meet our specific needs.

The length of such contract(s) will be approximately ten (10) months. If Minnesota State and Respondent are unable to negotiate and sign a contract by August 20, 2026, then Minnesota State reserves the right to seek an alternative Respondent(s).
