Here is the timeline for RFP-related activities (the University reserves the right to adjust this timeline, if needed):

1. Intent to Bid (By Tuesday, September 10, 2025 at 2:00PM CST) - We are asking suppliers to advise us, via the MBid tool, of their intent to bid (intent to submit a proposal in response to this RFP), so that the project team can gauge what the expected response may be .

Please note, if you inadvertently miss this "intent to bid" deadline, you may still submit a proposal by the October 10, 2025 due date for proposals.

Similarly, if you indicate an intent to bid, but you later decide not to submit a proposal, that is okay too.

Again, we are using the "intent to bid" activity as a way to gauge the approximate degree of supplier interest in the RFP.

2. Due Date for Clarification Questions From Suppliers (Friday, September 12th, 2025 at 2:00PM CST) - All RFP-related clarification questions are due from suppliers, via MBid, by this due date . The project team will promptly review all questions, and then develop corresponding answers. The full Q&A (all questions received, plus all answers; minus the names of suppliers) will be published shortly thereafter, via publishing an RFP addendum in MBid.

3. Proposal Due Date (Thursday, October 10, 2025 at 2:00PM CST) - All proposals in response to this RFP are due from suppliers, via MBid, by this due date. Please start inputting your proposals into MBid well in advance , so that you don't run into any issues and miss the deadline, because this is a "hard stop," meaning that the MBid system won't allow for the late submission of proposals.

4. Interviews of Supplier Finalists (Week of November 3, 2025) - Selected finalists will visit the University of Minnesota (at a location to be determined and communicated) for an interview and presentation session.

5. Final Decisions / Supplier Selection (Friday, November 28, 2025) - The University hopes to select a winning supplier by Friday, November 28, 2025 or sooner. An award would be contingent upon successful contract negotiations.

Additionally, an opportunity to purchase Individual Guaranteed Issue Policy for the RFI group.
