Professional Reader Services FY26

The University of Houston seeks proposals for Professional Reader Services under solicitation RFP-730-UofH-3131, with a five-year contract term and potential for extensions, targeting a total value under $1 million. All responses must be submitted exclusively through the JAGGAER Sourcing Event Portal, where complete documentation and updates are hosted; submissions via other platforms, including the Electronic State Business Daily, will not be accepted. The solicitation is open to vendors with no federal funding involved, relying solely on local financial sources identified by cost center 3056-H0002-10594-NA and account code 53857. Proposals are due by August 13, 2026, and require confidential pricing submission. While the exact scope of services is not detailed in the provided data, the contract involves professional production support for athletic events, implying technical deliverables related to video, audio, and streaming services across University of Houston campuses in Texas. The evaluation approach appears to balance technical merit and cost, with confidential pricing required and cost analysis noted as not mandatory, suggesting a trade-off methodology rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Organizational conflicts of interest are acknowledged, with the project manager having had prior interactions with potential respondents, and vendor reference checks are required. No specific FAR clauses, packaging requirements, inspection standards, or formal certifications are identified, and no CLIN or line-item pricing is disclosed. Offerors must register on JAGGAER to respond and are responsible for ensuring proposal compliance through the portal, with oversight handled by designated university contacts including Curtis Lewis, Robert Adkins, and Eric Cabiran, though official roles such as COR or PCO are not formally assigned.
