Intent to Sole Source to the RDW Group

The Montana University System is considering a sole-source contract award to the RDW Group for marketing services focused on the workforce training story of rural Montana, with responses due October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MDT. This is a sole-source intent, not a competitive solicitation; however, other vendors who believe they can meet all requirements are invited to submit detailed descriptions of equivalent offerings.

The scope encompasses marketing services (Commodity Code 1402) to communicate the workforce training narrative of rural Montana. No specific deliverables, media channels, campaign duration, or performance metrics are detailed in the notice.

No contract value or estimated term is stated. Payment terms are Net 30 with no percentage discount available. The contract number is EDU-SolSour-2027-0090.

Responding vendors must provide full company name, address, phone number, and designated contact personnel with phone and email; and submit a thorough written response detailing how they can provide the specified services. Vendors must review and accept the Letter of Intent to Sole Source via the Questions Section in eMACS and acknowledge single point of contact information. The opportunity will remain sealed until the October 19 deadline.

Brian O'Connor (boconnor@montana.edu, +1 406-994-5016) is the primary contact. Vendors requiring eMACS platform assistance should contact the eMACS Help Desk or reference the eMACS Vendor Handbook at spsd.mt.gov/eMACS-resources.
