UNC at Chapel Hill Study Abroad 2.0

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Study Abroad Office (and Kenan‑Flagler Business School) are issuing an RFP to create a “convenience contract” that will serve as a pre‑approved supplier directory for study‑abroad program providers. The contract will be awarded to multiple vendors and will remain in effect for the life of the agreement, allowing any UNC System affiliate to use the selected providers. Vendors must demonstrate experience delivering one or more of the following program types: custom faculty‑led programs, standard/direct‑enroll or study‑center programs, internship/research/service‑learning/community‑engagement programs, and virtual programs. Selections will be based on price, geographic expertise, academic discipline expertise, and other factors. The solicitation requires a single PDF proposal per company, includes detailed pricing tables, and obliges vendors to register with the North Carolina Secretary of State within ten days of award. Subcontracting is limited; local vendors (hotels, transport, etc.) are treated under a separate flow‑down clause. The RFP does not specify a submission deadline, pre‑bid meeting, or site‑visit dates. • Multiple‑vendor convenience contract for study‑abroad services • Open to all UNC System affiliates for the contract’s duration • Required program types: custom faculty‑led, standard/direct‑enroll, internship/research/service‑learning, virtual • Evaluation criteria: price, geographic and academic expertise, other factors • Single PDF proposal per vendor; pricing must be itemized by program type • Vendor must be registered with NC Secretary of State (proof due within 10 days of award) • Limited subcontracting; local service providers fall under Section 55 flow‑down • No explicit submission deadline or pre‑bid meeting listed
