Consortium Course Sharing Platform and Services

Texas State University seeks a vendor to deliver a comprehensive, cloud‑based consortium course‑sharing platform that lets TXST students enroll in online courses offered by partner institutions and enables TXST to offer its own online seats to external students, generating revenue and supporting student retention. The solution must handle inter‑institutional enrollment, credit/grade transfer, financial‑aid coordination, tuition processing, and FERPA‑compliant data exchange within a vetted network of regionally accredited colleges and universities. The contract will run for an initial three‑year term with options to extend up to two additional one‑year periods (maximum five years). The university will evaluate qualifications (90 %) and price (10 %) and expects detailed methodology, past performance, and reference documentation. The award will be made via a sealed‑bid process with a submission deadline of June 10, 2026. • Provide a secure, SaaS consortium platform with course catalog, enrollment workflow, and reporting tools. • Include implementation, onboarding, training, and ongoing support services. • Ensure integration with SIS/LMS, FERPA compliance, and automated tuition/financial‑aid processing. • Deliver a three‑year performance period (renewable up to five years) and meet extensive Texas‑state compliance certifications.
