AL & CTE Dashboards

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is pursuing a sole source procurement with Education Northwest (EDNW) for updating and maintaining the Oregon Accelerated Learning (AL) and Career and Technical Education (CTE) Dashboards. The contract will encompass updating these digital dashboards with three years of data spanning from 2019/20 to 2021/22, ensuring full functionality for users between September 2021 and September 2023. The primary deliverables include refreshing underlying databases, maintaining dashboard accessibility, and conducting two training webinars annually. The procurement is specifically for Marion County and involves the Office of Teaching, Learning and Assessment's Accelerated Learning Unit. The sole source notice was posted on September 22, 2021, with a submission deadline of September 29, 2021, and provides a seven-calendar-day window for potential competing vendors to submit written protests if they believe they can provide equivalent services. The contract aims to provide educational stakeholders with comprehensive data visualization and analysis tools related to accelerated learning and career technical education performance metrics.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No detailed information about disadvantaged enterprise requirements is provided in the documentation. The sole source justification suggests Education Northwest is the preferred and potentially sole qualified vendor for this specific dashboard maintenance and update project. The total contract value is set at $123,000, with potential for future amendments to continue funding the services. While no incumbent vendor details are definitively outlined, the documentation implies that Education Northwest has been the previous provider of these dashboard services. The contract does not specify complex technological integration requirements, focusing instead on data update and dashboard maintenance. The procurement appears targeted specifically at providing educational data visualization tools for Oregon's educational stakeholders, with a clear focus on continuity of existing dashboard services.
