Attachment C Questionnaire_fillable.pdf

This is an application questionnaire attachment for the Nebraska Department of Education's Innovation Grant Learning Platform procurement (NDERFA251008), a service contract solicitation seeking a qualified vendor to provide a three-dimensional, game-based learning platform for middle and high school students across Nebraska. The platform must integrate chemistry, physical science, and mathematics standards with real-world technologies and applications while engaging students in STEM careers aligned with Nebraska's College and Career Readiness and Career and Technical Education Content Standards. Respondents must address eight technical requirements in their applications, including platform connectivity to standards and real-world applications, student career engagement capabilities, data availability and program evaluation metrics, Spanish-language accessibility features, compatibility with existing school district equipment, district recruitment and user enrollment strategies, platform success evidence, and data security and FERPA compliance protocols. Applications are due November 3, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, and the contract term is one year with potential renewals for three additional one-year periods. Respondents are permitted to include up to nine pages of appendices if additional space is needed to address the questionnaire items.

Pricing for this contract is structured on a cost-per-student-user basis rather than a fixed budget, with vendors required to submit detailed cost structures in the attached vendor cost sheet. The procurement appears open to technology vendors specializing in educational platforms with demonstrated capabilities in STEM-focused, game-based learning solutions, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types explicitly mentioned. No incumbent vendors were identified in the solicitation documents. The successful vendor must provide unlimited 24/7 access for all Nebraska school districts, integrate with current school district technological infrastructure, and deliver comprehensive reporting mechanisms including usage statistics and program effectiveness evaluations. Detailed cost information, including total project costs and per-student user pricing, must be provided in Attachment A of the solicitation.
