The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE) issued Request for Information BD-27-1088-RGT01-RGT01-133080 on September 9, 2026, to gather market research and expert analysis for the development of a statewide Education to Workforce Marketplace (E2WM). This initiative specifically targets stopped-out residents who have some college credit but no credential (SCNC). The goal is to inform a future formal procurement solicitation by exploring technology-enabled solutions for student outreach, reengagement, enrollment persistence, and the transition from credential completion to the workforce. The DHE is seeking information on student-facing technology platforms featuring degree planning and AI-driven personalization, data analytics for longitudinal tracking, and holistic coaching models that address basic needs such as childcare and transportation. Key requirements for potential solutions include scalability across public two-year and four-year institutions, FERPA compliance, and adherence to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). While this RFI is not a commitment to contract, the DHE has indicated an annual budget of approximately 2 million dollars for the future project. Responses must be submitted electronically via the COMMBUYS portal by October 2, 2026.
