About this file
This IT Required Specifications document pertains to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued jointly by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Higher Education (DHE) to procure consulting services for developing a comprehensive Statewide Early College Growth Plan. The project seeks to establish an evidence-based roadmap for expanding Early College participation from approximately 10,000 current students to 20,000, 40,000, and ultimately 100,000 students by 2036. The scope of work requires the selected consultant or consulting firm to conduct comprehensive analysis, develop strategic recommendations, and create actionable implementation pathways. The document specifies technical requirements and qualifications necessary for proposal submission, including detailed IT system specifications and data management capabilities required to support the planning and expansion initiative.
The specification document establishes mandatory IT infrastructure and operational requirements that responding bidders must meet or exceed. These requirements address data security, system interoperability, reporting capabilities, and technical support provisions necessary to execute the Early College Growth Plan development and subsequent implementation support. The document serves as part of the bidding package to ensure vendors possess adequate technological capacity and infrastructure to manage the project's data, stakeholder engagement, and deliverable production. Specific pricing terms, contract duration, award timeline, and funding amounts are referenced within the broader RFP documentation but are detailed separately in associated procurement documents.

RFR - Required Specifications for Information Technology
Revised: July 1, 2020 Information Technology. Required for Information Technology contracts. All IT systems and applications developed by or for Executive department agencies or operating within the Massachusetts Access to Government Network (MAGNet) must conform with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards promulgated by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Technology Services & Security (EOTSS). Non-conforming IT systems may not be deployed unless the purchasing agency and their contractor(s) have jointly applied for and received in writing from the Secretary of EOTSS or the Secretary’s designee, notice that a specified deviation will be permitted. The Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards are available at https://www.mass.gov/handbook/enterprise-information-security-policies-and-standards. Additional policies, standards, and requirements that do not conflict with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards may apply and shall be made available to Bidders by the purchasing agency.
Please Note: Given the pace of information technology innovation, purchasing agencies and their contractors are required to contact EOTSS to signal a system or application design and development initiative. Such advance notice helps to ensure conformance with the relevant Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards.
Contractor delivery of IT systems and applications that fail to conform to the Commonwealth’s Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards, absent the Secretary of EOTSS’s grant of written permission for a deviation, shall constitute breach of contract. The Commonwealth may choose to require the contractor, at no cost to the Commonwealth, to re-engineer the non-conforming system for the purpose of bringing it into compliance with Commonwealth Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards.
