About this file

This is a certification page from the Materials Management Purchasing Department of the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida for an Intent to Negotiate (ITN) solicitation for an Applicant Tracking System (ITN #26-0059). The School Board seeks a cloud-based ATS solution that may function as a stand-alone platform or integrate candidate relationship management capabilities to handle end-to-end recruitment processes from sourcing through onboarding. The system must support approximately 15-20 HR users and 150 non-HR users, process 50-75 active job postings with potential doubling during peak periods, manage 700-800 new hires annually, handle 4,500 new applications yearly, and accommodate 10 onboarding documents with electronic signature capability. Sealed proposals must be submitted electronically via the VendorLink portal by March 9, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. EST. Recommended awards will be posted on April 14, 2026, with School Board action scheduled for April 21, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EST. The contract term is three years with pricing, terms, and conditions remaining firm for the full period, with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods based on mutual written consent and funding availability.

Proposals are evaluated on a maximum of 100 points across six categories: background and ability to execute scope (15 points), qualifications of assigned personnel (10 points), fee schedule (15 points), references (5 points), approach and methodology (35 points), and reporting services (20 points), with optional presentations adding up to 50 additional points for selected finalists. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience providing Applicant Tracking Systems and provide three commercial references from comparable projects within the past 36 months. The School Board has not approved a fixed budget and is conducting this ITN to understand market offerings and pricing. The selected vendor must integrate with the existing Skyward HR/Finance system and Outlook email communications. All proposals must include executed certifications regarding drug-free workplace status, non-debarment, non-use of coercion for labor services, and confirmation that the company is not owned or controlled by designated foreign countries of concern as defined by Florida Statute 287.138. The School Board encourages participation by Small Business Enterprises, Minority-Owned Businesses, and Women-Owned Businesses and reserves the right to award to a single proposer or make multiple awards.
