Microsoft Azure Data Lakehouse Assessment and Power BI Workforce Dashboard Development Services

The Minnesota Department of Information Technology Services (MNIT), in partnership with the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), seeks a qualified vendor to advance workforce reporting and Power BI dashboard development using the existing DEED Microsoft Azure Data Lakehouse. The deliverables-based engagement includes assessing the Data Lakehouse environment, identifying and prioritizing analytics use cases, designing and developing dashboards, and providing training and knowledge transfer. Only onshore U.S. organizations with a fully executed MNSITE 2.0 (23ASK) master contract may respond to this solicitation, which closes on November 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. Vendors must submit questions through the event tool and provide a technical response, minimum qualifications table, work plan, and lump-sum pricing for each workstream without including cost information in the technical response. MNIT and DEED will evaluate proposals based on the responder's timeline, deliverable sequencing, project management approach, ability to meet the timeframe, and demonstrated experience. Because the resulting contract may exceed $100,000, vendors must also submit workforce, equal pay, and lobbying certifications.
