Wake Technical Community College (WTCC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 130-WTCC1478640696-25TM for Assessment Management and Course Evaluation Software, seeking a comprehensive cloud-based solution for institutional assessment, compliance, accreditation, strategic planning, learning outcomes assessment, and course evaluations. The procurement targets a software platform that must integrate with existing systems including Blackboard Ultra LMS and Ellucian Colleague SIS, with specific requirements for FERPA/HIPAA compliance and WCAG 2.1AA accessibility standards. The RFP will be evaluated using a trade-off/ranking method with 100 total possible points across four criteria: Technical Response (40 points), Qualifications and Experience (35 points), Total Cost of Ownership (15 points), and Account Management/Transition Plan (10 points). Critical submission deadlines include vendor questions due by March 4, 2025 at 5:00 PM ET, and the bid opening scheduled for March 21, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET. The anticipated contract award date is May 21, 2025, with a three-year contract term and potential extension at WTCC's discretion.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will require comprehensive pricing for all software components, including implementation, technical support, hosting, and training across the three-year term, with a 10% retainage requirement on the total contract value. The solution must provide automated notifications, real-time reporting and analytics, and secure data storage capabilities. While no incumbent vendor is specifically mentioned, the software must demonstrate robust integration capabilities with the college's existing technological infrastructure. Vendors must provide detailed pricing for all solution components and be prepared to meet stringent technical, compliance, and operational requirements. The comprehensive nature of the RFP suggests a potentially significant contract value, though exact budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the available documentation.
