This is a Proposer's Statement of Qualifications form (Attachment C) for the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida's Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Intent to Negotiate solicitation (ITN #26-0059). The form requires proposers to provide written responses to six qualification-related inquiries regarding their business history and current financial standing. The School Board of Sarasota County is seeking a cloud-based Applicant Tracking System that functions as either a standalone platform or integrates candidate relationship management (CRM) capabilities. The solution must be scalable and mobile-responsive, handling end-to-end recruitment processes from sourcing through onboarding while simplifying the application process, improving sourcing and search functionality, increasing candidate tracking efficiency, enabling targeted communications, centralizing job advertising with one-click posting capabilities to platforms like Indeed and ZipRecruiter, and providing a centralized dashboard for recruiters and hiring managers.

The Proposer's Statement of Qualifications addresses critical vendor qualification criteria through six yes/no questions with space for detailed explanations if affirmative responses are required. These questions assess whether the proposer has been declared in default of any contract, forfeited performance bonds, had uncompleted contracts assigned by surety companies, filed for bankruptcy or reorganization within the past three years, is subject to litigation that could materially affect financial position or viability, or is currently involved in merger, acquisition, or takeover activities. The form requires an authorized representative's signature and company name, serving as a preliminary screening mechanism to ensure proposer stability and contractual reliability before formal proposal evaluation.
