Legal Services

This RFQ seeks to pre‑qualify law firms capable of providing a wide range of legal services to the Arkansas State University System, covering intellectual property, immigration, tax, NCAA compliance, bankruptcy, and real‑estate/business transactions. The contract will be non‑exclusive, allowing the university system to engage multiple firms across its campuses. Vendors must submit a qualifications narrative, conflict‑of‑interest disclosures, hourly rate schedules (locked for at least two years), and certify compliance with several Arkansas state restrictions. The award will likely be split among nine law firms identified as “Intent to Award” candidates. The agreement commences July 1 2026, runs for five years with two possible one‑year extensions, and operates on a labor‑hour pricing model.
