AI Enabled Statewide Navigator for Ohio Veterans and the Military Connected Community

The Ohio Department of Veterans Services (ODVS) is seeking innovative, AI‑enabled technology to create a Statewide Navigator/Portal that serves Ohio’s veterans, service members, families, caregivers, and other military‑connected individuals. The portal will act as a digital front door, delivering personalized user journeys and intelligently directing users to relevant federal, state, county, nonprofit, educational, and employment resources based on each user’s background, needs, and eligibility. Responses must be concise (≤20 pages) and submitted electronically via Ohio Buys by the RFI closing date. ODVS may request additional information, demonstrations, or presentations from respondents. • Develop an AI‑driven portal that provides personalized resource recommendations for military‑connected populations across Ohio. • Integrate multiple data sources (federal, state, local, nonprofit, education, employment) into a unified, user‑friendly interface. • Deliver a scalable, secure solution that can evolve with changing eligibility criteria and policy updates.
