About this opportunity

The Texas Education Agency, in collaboration with the Texas Workforce Commission, is issuing a Request for Information on the Ready Workforce Training Pipeline, with responses due September 16, 2026. This is an information-gathering phase to inform future procurement activities rather than a formal competitive solicitation.

The RFI seeks vendor and stakeholder input on capacity, experience, and proposed approaches to delivering comprehensive workforce training services designed to prepare individuals for in-demand careers and support Texas economic competitiveness. The initiative focuses on creating pathways connecting education, training, and employment opportunities across the state. Respondents should address alignment with regional labor market needs and employer demands, and explain their capability to participate in program implementation.

Eligible respondents include educational institutions, training organizations, and workforce development entities. The RFI does not name an incumbent or identify specific contract award timing; rather, responses will inform the design of future formal solicitations and contract opportunities. Funding is anticipated from state appropriations and potentially federal workforce development grants, with specific budget amounts not detailed at this informational phase.

The RFI includes structured instructions for response formatting and submission procedures. Responses received will establish vendor qualifications and approaches for participation in program implementation when formal contracting begins. This represents a preliminary phase of program development and a critical opportunity for providers to position themselves for downstream contract opportunities as Ready Workforce Training Pipeline initiatives move toward procurement.
