Student Engagement Application

Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC), located in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive mobile student engagement application platform through RFP 26019. The procurement targets a robust digital solution designed to centralize campus communications, event management, club administration, notifications, data collection, and analytics for the college's student population of over 5,000 full-time equivalent students. The proposed app must include capabilities for event creation and management, single sign-on integration, accessibility compliance, and advanced communication features. Proposals are due on October 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, with an anticipated contract award on October 23, 2025. The initial contract term will span three years from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2028, with potential for four additional one-year renewals, potentially extending the contract through October 31, 2032. The evaluation process will utilize a weighted point system, allocating 30 points for cost, 30 points for company overview and customer support, and 40 points for platform experience and implementation methodology. The college expects the completed application to be deployment-ready by the spring semester start date of January 12, 2026.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Payment terms are established as net 30 days, with a preference for credit card transactions, and FVTC maintains a governmental entity status with sales tax exemption. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the procurement suggests the college is seeking to replace or implement an entirely new student engagement technology solution. The RFP does not provide a specific budget range or maximum award value, though the comprehensive nature of the required platform indicates a potentially significant investment. Technical requirements suggest vendors must demonstrate significant experience in developing mobile applications specifically tailored to higher education environments, with robust capabilities in event management, communication, and data analytics. The successful vendor will need to provide a scalable, user-friendly platform that can effectively serve FVTC's diverse student population and administrative needs.
