Hobsons, Inc. /PowerSchool Software

SUNY Oswego is seeking quotes for Hobsons, Inc./PowerSchool Software services for the period of August 27, 2025 through August 26, 2026. The procurement involves acquiring Intersect by PowerSchool, a software platform that connects higher education admissions staff with high school counselors. The software enables users to update college profiles for Naviance, develop professional networks, search high school profiles, and collaborate within a counseling community. Interested parties can request an account by searching for their institution's name or postal code, with institutions allowed multiple free accounts but limited to one primary user account designated as the main admissions office contact. Quotes/bids are due on April 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM, and the contract will cover all New York State counties with SUNY Oswego as the procuring agency. The opportunity is structured as a competitive quote solicitation with a specific one-year contract term.

The contract opportunity does not include any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged, minority, women-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, with all subcontracting goals set at 0%. No specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation. The procurement appears to be a direct software service acquisition without complex vendor restrictions. The solicitation suggests this is a renewal or continuation of an existing software service relationship, as the description indicates SUNY Oswego has previously utilized similar PowerSchool software services. The contract is specifically for a cloud-based software platform that facilitates communication and profile management between higher education admissions offices and high school counseling departments, with no additional infrastructure integration requirements mentioned.
