Ancient Studies Study Tour Services

The Baltimore, Maryland-based government authority is seeking a vendor to provide ancient studies study tour services for an eight-night trip. The agency needs to solve the logistical challenges of coordinating travel, lodging, and dining for student groups of varying sizes. The selected provider must deliver comprehensive travel arrangements that align with the educational goals of the ancient studies department. The scope of work requires bidders to provide cost quotes for group sizes of twenty-five, thirty, and thirty-five participants, utilizing three-star and four-star accommodations. The package must include round-trip air transportation and eight nights of lodging in centrally located three- or four-star hotels that feature breakfast buffets and wireless internet access. Additionally, the vendor must arrange two pre-paid group lunches and two pre-paid group dinners at local restaurants. While instructors from the agency will serve as the primary tour guides, the group will utilize local Italian guides for ancient sites and museums where government regulations require them. The agency's ancient studies department will independently arrange the coach transportation for the group. Performance of the contractual work will occur offsite. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a pre-set funding limit. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 16, 2026. Final responses may be submitted digitally via email or through the online portal.
