MPA 634 Educational Technology for Supplemental Intervention

The Rhode Island Department of Education is soliciting proposals under solicitation OET25005422 for MPA 634 to establish a qualified vendor pool for academic intervention systems providing supplemental literacy and mathematics interventions. This is an open enrollment, qualifications-based IDIQ arrangement where selected firms will compete for specific tasks via agency-issued mini-bids. The initial contract period is scheduled to run from July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029, with an option for one additional 12-month renewal based on performance and funding availability. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Ocean State Procures by May 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Award decisions are based on relative merit, focusing on technical proposal quality, vendor qualifications, and compliance with state regulations. Mandatory requirements include a technical proposal, an MBE Participation Acknowledgment Form, and a comprehensive vendor certification questionnaire covering ethics, legal compliance, and conflict of interest. Significant emphasis is placed on risk mitigation, requiring general liability insurance of 10 million dollars per occurrence, with cyber and privacy insurance requirements increasing up to 20 million dollars for vendors handling mission-critical services or sensitive confidential data. The state will withhold a 1 percent administrative fee from approved invoices.
