Blackbaud Raiser's Edge Subscription

SUNY Oneonta is pursuing a procurement opportunity for a Blackbaud Raiser's Edge Subscription, which will be awarded under the institution's discretionary authority as outlined in NYS Education Law 355(5)(a). The contract is specifically located in Otsego County and involves a two-year subscription term with a due date of January 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The procurement will not involve a traditional sealed bid process, and interested vendors must contact the campus designated contact within 15 business days of the advertisement notice. Vendors are expected to provide a comprehensive proposal for the Raiser's Edge software subscription, demonstrating their capability to meet SUNY Oneonta's specific technological requirements. The procurement appears to be a direct acquisition of a specific software platform, with the primary objective of securing continued access to fundraising and constituent management technology.

The contract opportunity does not include a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned business set-aside designation, indicating open competition for potential vendors. Blackbaud, the current vendor, has been awarded identical or substantially similar procurement contracts within the past five years, suggesting a potential preference or familiarity with the existing solution. The procurement spans Orleans County and is part of a broader New York State contracting process, with a State Local Contract Opportunity ID of 675c16ee81bedcc9c500953a. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the two-year subscription nature of the contract implies a recurring technology investment. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical compatibility with existing infrastructure and provide a comprehensive proposal that meets SUNY Oneonta's specific technological and operational requirements for constituent relationship management.
