About this file

Amendment #1 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Academic Program Assessment Tool Request for Proposal (2025-UWMSN-00923-RFP) addresses vendor questions and clarifies key procurement details for a comprehensive software solution. The solicitation was initially posted on March 4, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of April 1, 2025, and requires electronic submission through the SciQuest bidding platform. Proposals are being sought for an academic program assessment technological tool covering jurisdictions within Dane County and the City of Madison, Wisconsin.

The procurement includes several important clarifications regarding funding, service delivery, and vendor requirements. The tool will be centrally funded through general program revenue streams, with the university potentially open to multi-year commitments or prepayment options. A critical requirement is that all services and data processing must be performed within the United States, with limited exceptions based on international trade agreements. The university's 2024 student Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) is 46,550, and while proposers may suggest alternative terms and conditions, acceptance is not guaranteed. The university explicitly notes that any resulting contract is not mandatory and does not guarantee specific purchase quantities or dollar amounts.
