Online Learning Portal - RFP LABOR FY2024-5

The Maryland Department of Labor (LABOR) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a state-of-the-art, cloud-based SaaS Online Learning Portal (OLP) and associated services for adult learning and development. The OLP must provide businesses with the ability to enter job openings and have the system match and notify qualified applicants. Key requirements include an online learning library system, web-based access, HIPAA and PII compliant storage, user administration capabilities, licensing for up to 18,000 users, mobile accessibility, multiple language support, certification and continuing education programs, and various reporting and tracking features. Deliverables, maintenance and support, technical support, and backup requirements are also specified. The RFP outlines the procurement process, including a pre-proposal conference, proposal due date of June 17, 2024, and award based on the total evaluated proposal price.

The RFP does not specify any minimum qualifications for offerors, and there are no MBE or VSBE subcontracting goals. The solution must be a generally available, operational SaaS application, not one still under development. Pricing will be evaluated as part of the financial proposal, and the State intends to make a single award. The RFP does not mention any set-asides, incumbents, or specific funding requirements and sources, and the total evaluated proposal price is listed as $0.00 for the base year and two option years.
