Description
The University of A&M (UAM) is issuing an RFP to procure a new campus bookstore vendor to manage textbook sales (including new, used, rental, digital, and inclusive‑access options), retail merchandise, and related financial‑aid processing. The contract will begin service in Fall 2026 and will use existing on‑campus fixtures owned by the university. UAM is open to proposals that include a management‑fee structure to subsidize on‑site retail costs and is interested in a self‑operated spirit store concept, but it is not seeking a fully virtual storefront or inclusive‑access program at this time.
• Required submission package: 5 hard‑copy technical packets, 1 electronic technical packet, 1 electronic price sheet, and a redacted copy of the original technical proposal (if applicable).
• Scope includes integration with existing SIS/LMS (Blackboard & Workday), OER adoption (20 % of courses), and handling of financial‑aid credit on student accounts.
• Vendor must work with a single physical location, use university‑owned fixtures, and may propose a management‑fee arrangement; no campus card system is in place.
