About this opportunity
The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) is proposing a sole-source contract with Think 360 for continued provision of Creative Arts Development Program services, with a sole-source justification due September 14, 2026. This is a decision-flipping constraint: the procurement bypasses competitive bidding and restricts award eligibility to Think 360 based on unique qualifications, established program relationships, and institutional knowledge.
The scope encompasses arts education and creative workforce development programming across Colorado, with emphasis on continuation of established curriculum and arts education initiatives previously implemented by the incumbent vendor. The contract term is fiscal year 2027 and represents continuation of existing services rather than new program launch.
OEDIT's justification for sole source cites Think 360's specialized expertise, existing program infrastructure, and institutional continuity as factors supporting single-source award. Funding derives from Colorado state economic development resources allocated to OEDIT for creative industries support. The procurement covers Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions.
