Academic Affairs Management Platform

The issuing agency is seeking an academic affairs management platform to streamline portfolio maintenance, course evaluations, and administrative workflows. The agency needs to solve the problem of fragmented academic tracking by implementing a single system that manages faculty reporting across teaching, scholarship, service, and background portfolios. The platform must feature customizable workflows, approval levels, and customizable start and end dates for reviews that are restricted to authorized administrators. The scope of work requires a system capable of conducting course evaluations and surveys with customizable questions and rating scales. The requested platform must support the creation of rubrics, preserve all historical data, and allow users to upload files in DOCX, XLSX, and PDF formats. Additionally, the agency requires custom application modules for grants, incentives, awards, courses, and institutional processes, alongside dedicated modules for internships and Institutional Review Board research protocol submissions. Integration requirements dictate that the software must connect with the Brightspace Learning Management System and Banner Software as a Service, while utilizing Single Sign-On for user access. The selected provider must deliver ongoing support and maintenance for the duration of the contract and accommodate system modifications as necessary. The system must also possess the capability to dispatch electronic notifications, such as emails, to users. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based solely in the United States of America. The agency will allow the selected provider to perform all work offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally either via email or through the designated online portal, and the agency is currently requesting budget proposals to determine project funding.
