Notice of Sole Source Procurement - Student Recruitment AI System - Edsights Admit

Snow College intends to award a sole source contract for a Student Success Platform known as EdSights Admit, leveraging its unique AI-driven text messaging system to enhance student recruitment and enrollment efforts. The procurement is justified under the Utah Procurement Code section 63G-6a-802, which allows for non-competitive awards when there is only one source or when transitional costs or impracticality make standard procurement undesirable. EdSights offers a proprietary platform that provides actionable enrollment insights, including student intent profiles with Commitment Scores, predictive and prioritized outreach lists developed from extensive historical data, institutional trend analyses identifying at-risk cohorts and root causes, funnel summaries of enrollment likelihood, and real-time crisis alert forwarding. This AI-enabled solution replaces manual outreach, delivering automated, data-driven student engagement and timely interventions that are critical for retention strategies within Snow College. The contract is structured as a three-year agreement with an annual value of $52,500, totaling $157,500, and is set to be performed remotely via the cloud-based platform, with Snow College located in Utah as the place of performance. No federal acquisition regulation clauses apply since this is a state-level procurement governed by Utah state rules. There is no competitive evaluation given the sole source justification, and no formal special contract requirements, packaging, or specific invoicing details have been provided. Inspection and acceptance will be conducted remotely by Snow College, focusing on demonstrated platform functionalities outlined in the sole source justification. The procurement notice also informs interested parties of an opportunity to comment or object by December 24, 2026, but explicitly states that no award will be made under this current solicitation, signaling that contract award will be pursued in a separate subsequent process. The agency’s procurement contact is Michael Jorgensen from Snow College Procurement Services, and all procurement activities are intended to comply with relevant state procurement statutes rather than federal contracting protocols.
