Consultant Qualification Program

The MIT Offices of Campus Planning, Campus Construction, Utilities & Maintenance, and Infrastructure Business Operations jointly manage a Consultant Qualification Program to identify and prequalify professional design and consulting service providers for the planning and renovation of facilities infrastructure on MIT’s 163-acre campus consisting of 12.6 million square feet and 152 buildings.

This Consultant Qualification Program broadly solicits and prequalifies firms for upcoming MIT design and engineering projects, and positions MIT for design excellence through the selection of highly qualified, cost-effective consultants. Requests for Qualification are issued by discipline and, in some cases, by project type.

It is the intent of the program to broadly solicit firms in an open call for qualifications. Firms are encouraged to respond to more than one RFQ in the event that they seek work in multiple service areas.

We look forward to meeting new firms and refreshing our acquaintance with firms we have worked with before.
