Graduate School Software

Montana State University’s Graduate School seeks a single vendor to provide two separate, graduate‑specific online e‑learning platforms (one for master’s students and one for doctoral/post‑doctoral students) that deliver career‑exploration tools, professional‑development resources, and ongoing support. The solution must be delivered as a SaaS offering, operating 24 × 7, and include asynchronous content, live web‑based bootcamps, and marketing assistance to drive student engagement. The contract will be awarded on a sealed‑bid basis, with a one‑year initial term and the possibility of renewal up to ten years, and requires compliance with extensive data‑security, accessibility, and non‑discrimination clauses. • Provide two distinct SaaS platforms tailored to master’s and doctoral graduate students. • Deliver self‑paced courses, video libraries, and live career‑exploration webinars aligned with hiring cycles. • Offer marketing and promotion services to increase platform adoption among graduate students. • Meet stringent security (NIST, SOC 2, PCI‑DSS), accessibility (WCAG 2.0 AA, Section 508), and data‑privacy (FERPA, HIPAA) requirements. • Submit a detailed cost proposal covering five years, along with required certifications, references, and compliance documentation.
