How to Become an OETC Contract Holder
Request for Proposals
Manufacturers and resellers have the opportunity to be awarded an OETC contract by winning a Request for Proposals (RFP) that our organization releases based on the purchasing trends and demands of the educational institutions in our membership.
How It Works
- OETC advertises a multi-state, competitive Request for Proposals (RFP), open to all qualified education technology providers, 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.
Order of RFP Releases
OETC only goes out for bid on the products that the majority of the OETC purchasing consortium demands; there are no guarantees about the order of the upcoming RFPs OETC will release.
