APPENDIX B-2 Price Proposal Workbook Summary

This is a price proposal workbook for the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) RFP 92303 for Custom AI-Enabled Content Development. The workbook serves as the standardized template for offerors to submit comprehensive pricing information across four structured tabs. UMGC seeks to establish a partnership with a qualified vendor to design, develop, deliver, and maintain AI-enabled learning content supporting workforce-aligned education initiatives and potentially credit-bearing curriculum development. The primary focus is short-form, workforce-related content with integration of Artificial Intelligence across the content development lifecycle and learner experience. Learning assets must be structured around clearly defined skills and competencies, support multiple pathways through learning including stackable credential pathways, and enable deployment across multiple formats and use cases.

Offerors must complete Tab 1 by providing labor category titles, descriptions of responsibilities, and fully burdened hourly rates for all positions, with all rates assuming remote work performance and travel/expenses identified separately if approved. Tab 2 requires hypothetical program pricing detailing labor categories, level of effort in hours, and hourly rates across defined project phases including Discovery & Planning, Content Development, Platform Configuration, Testing & QA, and Deployment & Launch. Tab 3 mandates clear identification of all recurring charges including hosting, platform access, AI functionality, content maintenance, learner support, reporting and analytics, accessibility maintenance, and other ongoing costs with associated billing frequencies and dependencies. Tab 4 requires offerors to document any assumptions not addressed in other tabs, with 15 lines provided for detailed assumptions across all pricing components.
