Study Abroad Providers Fair and Website Presence

Virginia Tech issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 952642506) titled "Study Abroad Providers Fair and Website Presence," which was posted on May 1, 2025, and remains open until July 1, 2026. This solicitation seeks to qualify study abroad program providers to participate in a university-hosted Study Abroad Providers Fair and to maintain a listing on the Global Education Office's website. The qualification process operates on a rolling basis, allowing providers to submit qualification statements anytime before the deadline for administrative review and approval. The primary goals are to establish an approved pool of providers eligible for face-to-face engagement with students at the fair and to offer ongoing visibility through the university’s digital platform. The solicitation is administrative in nature and does not involve pricing, contract line items, deliveries, or federal acquisition regulations typically associated with government procurement. No physical goods or service deliverables are specified beyond approval and inclusion in the fair and on the website. The place of performance is in Virginia, with administrative acceptance conducted by Virginia Tech’s Global Education Office. The submission must demonstrate organizational capability and alignment with Virginia Tech’s study abroad goals, but there are no stated technical standards, inspection criteria, or contract clauses typically found in federal contracts. Point of contact for inquiries and submissions is Levi Henry. The RFQ does not include size standards, set-asides, payment details, or compliance certifications, reflecting its focus on qualification rather than contracting or procurement of goods or services.
