NYS Workers' Compensation Board renewal of Lectora Inspire software

The New York State Workers' Compensation Board is soliciting an open-market quote for renewal of Lectora Inspire Gold Suite ELB Learning software with 10 licenses and coverage from November 30, 2026 through November 29, 2027, with quotes due October 8, 2026. No SDVOB, MBE, WBE, or DBE set-asides or goals apply to this procurement.

The scope is limited to licensing fees for Lectora Inspire Gold Suite ELB Learning; the identified provider is ELB Learning (www.elblearning.com). Quotes must cover all licensing charges and be submitted in U.S. dollars to WCBcontracts@wcb.ny.gov. To complete the sale, vendors must execute the lobby law forms and sign Appendix A, which incorporates standard New York State contract clauses including compliance with Finance Law 139-j and 139-k procurement lobbying restrictions, non-discrimination requirements, workers' compensation benefits, equal employment opportunity, Iran Divestment Act compliance, and breach notification obligations.

The restricted period for lobbying compliance extends from the earliest notice of intent through final award and Office of the State Comptroller approval. Vendors must submit three forms: an Affirmation of Understanding and Agreement confirming permissible contact procedures, a Certification of Compliance attesting to complete and accurate information, and a Disclosure of Prior Non-Responsibility Determinations. Non-compliance results in rejection for award; two non-responsibility findings within four years trigger debarment from state governmental procurement.

This procurement operates under the New York State Office of General Services Open Market Cloud contract framework, which permits indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity ordering by authorized state and local users, political subdivisions, public authorities, school districts, and nonprofits. Standard contract provisions include thirty-calendar-day delivery on freight-on-board destination basis; payment within thirty days for state agencies or fifteen days for small businesses; manufacturer's standard warranty or sixty days (whichever is longer); and liability caps per lot classification.
