D07 - PI Subscription - RFQ-2047

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking competitive quotes for a one-year annual subscription to the Predictive Index (PI) Behavioral, Cognitive, and Job Assessment platform. The procurement solicitation, identified as RFQ-2047, targets a comprehensive assessment solution for 100 full-time employees (FTEs) with specific requirements. The contract will include unlimited assessments for external job candidates and must incorporate the Hire and Inspire modules for all designated employees. Vendors must provide online PI Practitioner Training as part of the subscription. The solicitation was posted on March 12, 2025, with proposals due by March 26, 2025, giving potential bidders approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their quotes. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, vendors will likely be assessed on their ability to meet the technical specifications, platform capabilities, training provisions, and overall value proposition.

The procurement opportunity appears to be open to qualified vendors without explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the attached Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions document indicates support for MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) and EDGE (Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity) vendor participation. Vendors must complete the Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which requires transparency about service locations and data management, with a strict requirement that all services and data handling occur within the United States. The contract appears to be a standard annual subscription, though the exact budget range is not specified in the provided documentation. Potential bidders must carefully review the attached Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions, which outline comprehensive guidelines for vendor participation, quote submissions, contract awards, and performance expectations. Compliance with non-discrimination policies, equal employment opportunities, and adherence to federal and state regulations will be critical for successful vendor selection.
