Acquisition Procedure

Solicitation, evaluation and award of Requests For Proposals (RFP) shall be consistent with the following guidelines and UTMB’s Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Procedure.

A RFP is developed by Logistics/Acquisition in collaboration with the requestor. Once the RFP is completed it will be sent to all suggested sources and other vendors in UTMB’s database that have expressed interest in such projects.

After the vendors proposals are received, they will be evaluated by both Logistics/Acquisition and the requestor’s evaluation team. The evaluation may include presentations, site-visits, and/or a "Best and Final Offer". Once a vendor is selected for award, an "Award Recommendation" is prepared by Logistics/Acquisition, in cooperation with the requestor, for management approval.
