Workforce Data, Analytics, and Reporting Services

Brazosport College is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide Workforce Data, Analytics, and Reporting Services under RFP 2025.08, with services expected to commence on November 1, 2025, and conclude by June 1, 2026, with an initial one-year contract and up to four optional renewals contingent on grant funding and performance. The project aims to enhance access to regional labor-market and credential data, including conducting a Program Demand Gap Analysis, providing labor-market software licenses and training, and developing a customized dashboard integrating labor-market and institutional data to support program planning and funding alignment. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Ion Wave portal by September 24, 2025; manual submissions must be mailed in sealed envelopes clearly marked with the RFP number, due date, and vendor details. Late or unsubmitted responses will not be considered, and proposals are evaluated based on criteria including price, qualifications, functionality, timeline, comprehensiveness, and references, with a total of 100 points possible. Brazosport College reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive formalities, and award to the vendor offering the best value. The procurement process incorporates specific Texas statutory requirements, including conflict of interest disclosures, Texas Government Code dispute resolution procedures, and compliance with the Texas Public Information Act. Vendors must complete and submit mandatory forms such as the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, IRS Form W-9, and the Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295 (Disclosure of Interested Parties). Insurance coverage must meet specified limits, and hazardous materials must be properly identified. The contract emphasizes adherence to applicable laws, grant eligibility, and the right of the college to inspect, reject, or return non-conforming items. Pricing proposals should detail costs for data access, analytics, customization, training, and ongoing support, with all costs included in the unit prices. The college evaluates proposals through a weighted point system, considering price, experience, functionality, and references, and reserves the right to award based on best value rather than lowest bid. All contractual and administrative communications are managed through the college’s Purchasing Department, with invoices payable within 30 days upon receipt of proper documentation.
