EAB Appily Sole Source Pre-Award

The university is procuring the “Appily” lead‑generation platform from EAB Global on a five‑year, $290,000 sole‑source contract. The solution will provide 5,500 student‑inquiry leads and 60,000 prospect leads, with de‑duplication functionality to support undergraduate recruitment. Because the vendor is the sole manufacturer and distributor, the award is non‑competitive unless a qualified vendor submits a written challenge within 15 days of posting. No product or service line items are detailed beyond the lead counts, and no prerequisite qualifications are required. • Contract value: $290,000 for a 5‑year term (July 1 2026 – June 30 2031). • Scope: Delivery of a SaaS lead‑generation platform (“Appily”) supplying specified lead volumes and data‑management features. • Sole‑source justification: Vendor is the exclusive provider; challenges must be submitted in writing by 5 June 2026. • No mandatory pre‑bid meeting, site visit, or prerequisite documentation; submission deadline is 19 June 2026.
