Pool of Vendors, Forensic Nurse Coaches

The Texas A&M University School of Nursing is soliciting proposals to establish a pool of qualified vendors to serve as Forensic Nurse Coaches for the Center of Excellence in Forensic Nursing. This solicitation, identified as TAMHSC-RFQ-26-0640, aims to identify capable contractors who can support a range of educational and training initiatives including experiential learning simulations, delivery of forensic nursing courses, and expert consulting services. The work is performance-based and will be conducted wholly within the state of Texas, with no specific location beyond the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center defined. The solicitation was posted on April 27, 2026, with responses due by May 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CST, and all submissions must be made electronically through the AggieBid portal, requiring vendors to register as bidders prior to submitting. The contract type is not explicitly stated but the structure of a vendor pool suggests an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) arrangement, allowing for multiple task orders to be issued under the established pool. Vendors will be expected to provide qualified forensic nursing professionals with appropriate credentials such as active RN licensure and forensic nursing certifications like SANE, though specific minimum qualifications are not detailed in the provided information. The NAICS code 611430 applies, classifying this as other schools and instruction services, but no pricing, contract value, or funding details are available; these must be obtained from the full solicitation on AggieBid. The evaluation factors for award, including weighted criteria or the basis of selection, are not disclosed here, and no contract clauses, special requirements, or inspection criteria are included in the available text. All ancillary information such as security clearances, organizational conflict of interest provisions, and representations and certifications required of offerors must be obtained through the official AggieBid portal, which is the sole source for the complete solicitation package. The primary point of contact for questions is Kristina Kanevsky, and no contracting officer representative or contracting officer details are listed in the provided materials.
