Description

The Citadel is seeking a qualified travel‑agency partner to manage overseas airline reservations for its “Travel Abroad” student programs during the fall and spring semesters. The contractor will provide an online portal for students to search and reserve flights, assign a dedicated account manager, and handle invoicing of the college for all airfare and approved ancillary fees. No fees may be collected from students; all costs are billed directly to The Citadel on a monthly or quarterly basis. The contract runs for an initial year with automatic one‑year renewals up to a five‑year maximum. • Provide a web‑based booking platform for overseas airfare, free to students. • Assign a dedicated account manager to support students and Citadel staff. • Invoice The Citadel for pass‑through airfare and any approved ancillary fees on a regular schedule. • Supply examples of two similar university travel‑program implementations. • Maintain required insurance, certifications, and South Carolina vendor registration.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

The contract’s revenue will be driven by the volume of overseas airfare the college purchases plus any service or platform fees the contractor charges. Assuming roughly 200 students travel each semester, an average ticket cost of $1,200, and two semesters per year, pass‑through airfare could total about $240,000 annually. Adding a modest service fee (e.g., 5 % of airfare) brings annual contractor revenue to roughly $12,000, leading to a total five‑year revenue range of $500,000 – $1,500,000 when accounting for fluctuations in student numbers, ticket prices, and potential ancillary fees.
