RFP 739-SL3821039 - Consulting Services - Enterprise AI Adoption and Enablement

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) is soliciting proposals under RFP 739-SL3821039 for professional consulting services to drive Enterprise AI Adoption and Enablement. The primary objective is to transition the institution from basic, isolated AI use to a high-value, measurable adoption model across its academic, clinical, research, and administrative units. The scope of work is divided into six key deliverables: a comprehensive AI transformation plan, leadership enablement, role-based workforce upskilling, workflow redesign and automation, an analytics and ROI reporting dashboard, and a final knowledge transfer package. The anticipated contract term begins upon execution and expires on August 31, 2027, with provisions for automatic one-year renewals. Proposals are due by 4:30 PM Central Time on September 21, 2026, and should be submitted via the TechBid system or through a combination of a bound physical copy and a USB drive. Award selection is based on a best value determination, with evaluation weighted toward service specifications (55%), pricing (30%), and experience and reputation (15%). Selected firms must provide a not-to-exceed fixed fee for each deliverable and a resource rate card for potential change orders. The contract mandates strict adherence to HIPAA, FERPA, and Texas DIR policies, specifically prohibiting the use of TTUHSC institutional data to train proprietary or public AI models. Project management will require a designated lead, weekly status reports, and monthly executive reviews tied to specific KPIs.
