Market Study and Salary Assessment Services

A government authority located in Florida is seeking market study and salary assessment services to evaluate its current compensation for faculty employees and to support future compensation planning. The agency needs to solve issues related to pay misalignment by conducting a compression and inversion study that identifies discrepancies between seniority, rank, and pay. To ensure comparisons reflect the university's mission, size, and academic profile, the agency requires the development of a revised institutional peer group and a market compensation review comparing institutional salaries to peer institutions. The scope of work covers reviewing existing salaries against the market and evaluating internal equity across comparable roles. The selected provider must identify compensation gaps, recommend prioritization of those gaps based on the market, and develop strategic options and recommendations on compensation alignment, adjustments, or policy considerations. Additionally, the project requires the development of a comprehensive timeline with specific milestones for Advisory Group reviews. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite at the provider's own office location. Evaluation criteria will be based on the submitted proposals, as the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and selection. The agency has scheduled a non-mandatory pre-submittal meeting for June 11, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the opportunity no later than June 17, 2026.
