About this opportunity
The Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, is conducting a sole source procurement on behalf of the Idaho STEM Action Center for a comprehensive college and career readiness system from Pathful Inc. The system includes five engagement models: Live Industry Connections, Session Requests, Video Library, Event Calendar, and Career Explorer, designed to connect students with industry professionals and provide career exposure. Pathful's platform offers over 18,000 videos and integrates with the Next Steps Idaho career platform, with specific components including Pathful Connect, Pathful Explore, and Pathful Junior. The procurement seeks a full technology solution that enables virtual work-based learning, professional development, and career exploration for students and educators. The solicitation was posted on August 2, 2023, with a response deadline of August 7, 2023, allowing interested vendors five business days to challenge the sole source determination. The initial contract term is two years, with potential for renewals, and the procurement is being conducted under Idaho Code section 67-9221.
The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The total anticipated contract value is approximately $700,000 for the desired contract term, with initial subscription order forms indicating pricing tiers ranging from $54,000 to $638,500 for the period of 6/1/2024 to 5/31/2025. Pathful Inc. is positioned as the sole vendor due to its exclusive ownership of trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property related to the career readiness platform. The procurement is specific to Ada County and involves the STEM Action Center, which has a legislative mandate to engage industry and support career readiness. Payment terms are net 30 days, with annual invoicing, and all fees are non-refundable. The contract cannot be decreased during the subscription term, and the customer is responsible for providing accurate contact and billing information.
