International Travel Services

The government authority located in Nashville, Tennessee is seeking international travel services to manage and facilitate global travel arrangements. The agency requires a vendor to solve the logistical challenges of booking discounted airfare for both individual travelers and groups, including complex group travel that involves individual deviations. The selected partner must also accommodate bookings with co-share partner airlines, prioritizing seamless ticketing across carriers. The scope of work demands specific technical and operational capabilities to streamline the booking process. The agency requires solutions that meet state-mandated turnaround times for booking travel arrangements once the institution issues a notification. Furthermore, the system must allow institutions to upload travel documents directly into the platform, issue electronic ticketing, and return confirmation numbers back to the requesting institution. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The selected vendor will perform all work offsite over a contract period of one year. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals, it has established key procurement dates. The agency will host a pre-bid conference on June 5, 2026, and requires all questions to be submitted no later than June 8, 2026.
