Integrated Data Dashboard

The Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES), Central Purchasing Division, is seeking proposals on behalf of the Oklahoma Workforce Commission to develop an Integrated Workforce Data Dashboard. This comprehensive project aims to create a sophisticated, modern data analytics platform that can collect, integrate, and visualize workforce data from multiple sources, supporting interactive analysis and AI-driven scenario planning. The dashboard will involve multiple stages including data collection, model development, stakeholder engagement, user interface design, testing, and deployment, with a strong emphasis on ensuring state ownership and potential future management by state personnel. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value criterion, considering factors such as understanding of scope, technical approach quality, compliance with industry standards, project team qualifications, cost-effectiveness, and transition planning. The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2025, with bid responses due by 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on April 11, 2025. Technical proposals must not exceed 35 pages and must adhere to specific requirements outlined in Exhibit 01, including detailed project approach, team qualifications, and compliance with standards like IEEE 1016, TOGAF, NIST SP 800-53, and ISO 27001.

The procurement opportunity appears to have several provisions supporting diverse and small business participation. Bidders must complete the OMES Form CP076, which includes declarations about potential status as a service-disabled veteran business enterprise. The federal funding terms attached to the solicitation emphasize affirmative steps for contracting with minority and women-owned businesses, requiring proactive inclusion in solicitation lists and ensuring fair participation. While no specific set-aside percentages are explicitly stated, the documentation suggests a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The project has an initial one-year contract term with four additional one-year renewal options, indicating potential long-term engagement. Although exact budget details are not provided, the cost proposal template suggests a multi-year pricing structure with hourly rates for various professional roles including Program Managers, Project Managers, Business Analysts, Architects, Developers, and other technical positions. Bidders are required to maintain their offer for a minimum of 120 days after the response due date, and the state reserves the right to request financial documentation, including up to three years of audited financial statements and tax returns.
