From the meeting
Lamar University reported that Valero's engineering scholarship has supported students since 2009, with 153 recipients and $641,135 distributed to date. The article also tied the program to internship and co-op recruiting at Valero's refineries. This is not a new purchase, but it confirms an ongoing talent and scholarship relationship that can support follow-on recruiting, internship, and sponsorship conversations.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
