Academic and Career Planning (ACP) Software

The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), specifically the Consolidated Agency Purchasing Services (CAPS), is conducting a procurement on behalf of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for a comprehensive Academic and Career Planning (ACP) software solution. The procurement seeks a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software platform that is web-based, configurable, and vendor-hosted, with specific accessibility requirements for students in grades 6-12 enrolled in Wisconsin public schools. The primary objective is to award a contract to a single responsive and responsible proposer who can provide a robust software solution that supports academic and career planning activities. The solicitation was posted on June 4, 2025, with proposals due by July 10, 2025, indicating a procurement timeline of approximately 36 days. Key deliverables will likely include a fully functional web-based platform that can be accessed by students statewide, with configurability to meet individual school district needs and comprehensive career planning tools.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to commercial software vendors with demonstrated capabilities in educational planning technologies. The software must be capable of integration with existing educational infrastructure and potentially support multiple user access levels for students, educators, and administrators. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the initial contract opportunity description. The procurement suggests a statewide implementation, which implies a potentially significant contract value, though precise budget ranges were not specified. Vendors responding to this opportunity will need to demonstrate technical capabilities, platform reliability, data security compliance, and the ability to support comprehensive academic and career planning functionalities across diverse educational environments in Wisconsin's public school system.
