About OETC RFPs
OETC is a nonprofit that empowers educational institutions. We represent our membership in organizing cost-effective, cooperative technology purchases through a sealed, competitive bid process to negotiate contracts that abide by state procurement statutes.
How It Works:
- OETC advertises a multi-state, open, competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) based on a non-brand specification on behalf of our public membership.
- Trained OETC scorers evaluate proposals based on a disclosed rubric.
- Awards are based on the lowest price offering from a qualified respondent.
The suggested school sites listed in your RFP as wanting services are all higher education universities/colleges. My company provides notification/emergency response services for K-12 school districts and I am wondering if responding to this inquiry would be valuable to you for that K-12 subset of your K-20 OETC cooperative. Since the product offerings for emergency notification services differ so greatly between K-12 and higher ed, our services would not be applicable to the higher education subgroup.
Would our services be considered as an option for your K-12 school districts? Or, should I wait to respond to an RFP that is set specifically for the K-12 systems?
