The contract extension with Cell-Ed will span nine months, ending on March 31, 2026, ensuring continuous access to mobile English learning services for ONA clients during the interim period while a new mobile English learning contract is being finalized through a Request for Applications (RFA). The RFA, which is nearly complete, was delayed due to ONA staff reallocating resources to address emergency programming changes related to federal immigration policies. Cell-Ed is a versatile mobile learning platform accessible via dial-in and WhatsApp, requiring no internet or data plans, making it particularly valuable for New York’s immigrant population. Currently serving over 2,000 users statewide, it offers short, self-paced lessons in English and Spanish, with opportunities to earn certificates and receive coaching support in multiple languages, including interpretation services. This tool is especially crucial for immigrants who face barriers such as lack of transportation or time constraints that prevent participation in traditional ESOL classes. The contract is designated as a sole-source award, emphasizing its unique suitability for the agency’s needs, with a total value estimated between $500,000 and $1.5 million, covering all counties in New York State.

This request will extend the current contract with Cell-Ed for a period of 9 months through 3/31/2026, to ensure that ONA clients have access to mobile English learning without a break in access to services while ONA releases an RFA and awards a contract for new mobile English services. ONA has an RFA for mobile English learning nearly finalized that it intends to release in the next month. Development of the RFA was delayed due to ONA staff responding to emergency programming changes necessitated by immigration changes at the federal level. Cell-Ed is a tool for use on any type of mobile device to learn English or Spanish and build skills for life and work. No internet or data plan is necessary since Cell-Ed is available through dial-in. Cell-Ed is also available through WhatsApp. Cell-Ed helps New York’s immigrant population take their next steps in work and education. Currently ONA has over 2,000 new Americans using Cell-Ed statewide. Users can learn at their own pace, anywhere and at any time by participating in 3-minute lessons with real-life examples. These lessons are part of courses and users can earn certificates of completion for the courses they complete. Coaches who speak English, Spanish and Mandarin provide direct support to users. Additionally, there is interpretation available for coaching so that any English learner can obtain assistance in their language of choice. Cell-Ed is a valuable and necessary tool for remote learning. Particularly for immigrants who do not have the time or transportation to participate in an ESOL classroom, Cell-Ed provides a means to improve their proficiency in English and helps them reach their personal goals. Reason for advertising exemption: Single Source Award recipient: Cell-Ed Any questions or comments regarding this notice of sole-source, single-source, or procurement otherwise exempt from advertising in the NYS Contract Reporter should be directed to the contact person listed for the contracting agency or public authority.
