AI-Based Staff Development and Professional Learning Platform

East Hartford Public Schools is soliciting proposals for an AI-based staff development and professional learning platform designed to deliver real-time, district-specific support to all employees, including both certified and classified staff. The platform must be deeply integrated with the district’s unique policies, curriculum, instructional frameworks, technology systems, and operational documents to ensure that all guidance provided is accurate, relevant, and aligned with how the district actually functions, distinguishing it from generic AI tools. The solicitation, numbered 1910-26, was posted on June 12, 2026, with the proposal submission deadline extended to July 15, 2026, and responses must be delivered physically to the Office of Professional Learning at 1110 Main Street, East Hartford, CT 06108. The NAICS code 541512 categorizes this procurement as custom computer programming services, indicating a focus on tailored software development rather than off-the-shelf solutions. While the contracting authority is identified as DAS Procurement under the State of Connecticut, the point of contact for inquiries is Britney Whitworth, and no other contract administration personnel—such as a contracting officer, technical representative, or payment office—are named. The contract performance location is definitively set within Connecticut, and the deliverable is a fully functional platform capable of interoperability with existing EHPS systems, ongoing technical support, and training for users. The scope emphasizes measurable improvements in staff engagement and professional growth tied directly to district priorities, with expected outputs including usage analytics and learning outcomes reports. No pricing details, evaluation criteria, contract value, payment instructions, accounting data, invoicing procedures, inspection standards, or specific certifications are included in the available documentation, nor are there explicit requirements for security clearances, key personnel, contract options, or organizational conflict of interest provisions, though integration with sensitive district systems implies underlying data security and compliance obligations. The solicitation does not reference any federal acquisition regulation clauses or special contract requirements beyond the stated integration mandates, and proposers are expected to respond in accordance with the original RFP terms as affirmed by Addendum #1, which only extended the deadline without modifying technical or performance expectations.
