Description: The New York City Public Schools (NYC DOE), on behalf of the Office of Student Pathways, is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced organizations capable of providing early college credit opportunities, or industry recognized credentialing programs, or research/impact services.

This solicitation comprises three (3) distinct service components. Vendors may submit proposals for Component 1, Component 2, and Component 3, or All Components.

• Component 1: Early College Credit Opportunities and Programs
• Component 2: Industry-Recognized Credentialing Opportunities and Programs
• Component 3: Career-Connected Learning Support and Impact Services

Vendors may elect to submit proposals for one, two, three, or all components, subject to the conditions noted above.

The requested services are limited to government entities, specifically, the City University of New York (CUNY) and the State University of New York (SUNY) systems. Private institutions are not permitted to participate in this solicitation. A separate solicitation (R1875) will be issued for services for nonpublic institutions. This is an open-ended RFP (to remain open indefinitely).

Detailed service descriptions and requirements are provided in the Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation.

This Proposal will be evaluated by a three or five-member evaluation committee. The evaluation committee's size will depend on the number of responses received and the DOE's best interest.

The committee will use the criteria listed on the RFP to evaluate each vendor (proposal). These services are being contracted out because the DOE does not have the resources or in-house expertise to provide the required services.
