Practice Interview and Resume Review Technology Platform

The University at Buffalo, a State University of New York (SUNY) public entity, is requesting information on a Practice Interview and Resume Review Technology Platform via RFI #25AXB0166, with responses due July 20, 2026 at 5:00 P.M. EDT. This is an information-gathering RFI that will not result in contract awards but may inform a future formal solicitation.

The University seeks an AI-powered platform to support the Career Design Center's services to approximately 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students, with required capabilities including an intuitive student interface, AI-based feedback on interviews and resumes, applicant tracking system (ATS) evaluation, single sign-on, role-based permissions, messaging functionality, and accessibility compliance.

Vendors must provide representative pricing information that includes annual enterprise licensing fees with user thresholds; licensing structure for each solution component; integration and onboarding cost estimates; data storage fees; year-over-year costs; maintenance fees; one-time setup and implementation fees; training fees; post-implementation customer support costs; and predicted price escalations based on historical trends. Vendor questions are due June 29, 2026 at 5:00 P.M. EST, with official University responses posted by July 10.

Any future formal solicitation resulting from this RFI will require vendors to accept New York State terms and conditions, State purchase order and contract requirements, and compliance with State Finance Law procurement authority. Responses containing confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information must be clearly marked and are subject to disclosure under New York State Freedom of Information Law. Vendors will need to complete the Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire through the VendRep System as part of future contracting with New York State.
