SEA Software

The Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board has issued Request for Quotations Q-26-66 for the supply of specific SEA Software products, including Clicker, Choose It Make It, Games and Activities, JAWS screenreader, and Symwritter. The contract term runs from October 13, 2026, to April 30, 2028, with the option for two additional one-year extensions. Award is based on the lowest priced compliant bid, with a preference for vendors capable of supplying most or all listed items. Bids must be submitted electronically by October 20, 2026. Strict eligibility requirements apply, as the Ontario Procurement Restriction Policy prohibits purchasing from U.S.-based companies that have fewer than 250 full-time employees in Canada. Selected vendors must comply with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and adhere to a comprehensive Data Protection Addendum that restricts AI training on board data. Mandatory requirements include a detailed security assessment, a U.S. business declaration, and specific insurance coverage, including 5 million dollars for Commercial General Liability and 5 million dollars for cyber and privacy insurance. Payment terms are NET 30 days via electronic funds transfer or Board Purchasing Card.
