Stephen F. Austin State University issued a competitive solicitation for a complete, turn‑key athletic ticketing solution covering multiple campus venues. The contract requires a software platform (online sales, donor management, reporting, marketing, PCI‑DSS compliance) together with optional hardware (PCs, printers, scanners, credit‑card devices). The system must integrate with existing campus systems (Marketplace/CBORD, Blackbaud Raiser's Edge, SSO) and support off‑site events with limited connectivity. The university seeks a vendor that can deliver implementation, training, and ongoing support, with a strong emphasis on technical capability, cost, and value‑added features such as single‑sign‑on and social‑media outreach. The award was made to Learfield Sub, LLC.
