Solicitation # BD-27-1088-RGT01-RGT01-133080
The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE) issued this Request for Information (RFI) on September 9, 2026, to gather market research and vendor capabilities for the development of a statewide Education to Workforce Marketplace (E2WM). The primary objective of the E2WM is to support stopped-out residents who have earned some college credit but have not obtained a credential (SCNC). The DHE seeks information on technology platforms, data-driven outreach, coaching models, and pricing structures to inform a future formal procurement process, such as a Request for Response (RFR) or Request for Quote (RFQ). The initiative focuses on student reengagement, enrollment, persistence, and the eventual transition into the workforce. The DHE is specifically interested in student-facing platforms that offer degree planning, financial aid guidance, and AI/ML personalization, as well as coaching models that address holistic needs like childcare and transportation. Key technical requirements include FERPA compliance, WCAG accessibility standards, and the ability to perform longitudinal tracking of students across public two-year and four-year institutions. While this RFI is not a commitment to award a contract, the DHE has indicated an annual budget capacity of 2 million dollars. Responses must be submitted electronically via the COMMBUYS portal by October 2, 2026, at 5 pm ET.
