The State of Colorado is conducting market research through an RFI to identify qualified vendors capable of providing advanced analytical services for its statewide longitudinal data system (COdata). The goal is to partner with researchers/analytics firms to produce insights on educational and labor pathways, using existing data sources (K‑12, higher education, CTE, workforce training, employment, wages, industry codes) and current technology stack (Snowflake, Informatica, Tableau). Vendors must detail organizational capacity, relevant experience, technical approach, staffing, and pricing (optional). Responses are confidential until a future solicitation is issued.
• Scope: Analytic partnership to support COdata’s research agenda.
• Required expertise: Data integration, statistical analysis, predictive modeling, visualization, familiarity with Snowflake, Tableau, R/Python/STATA.
• Deliverables: Methodology description, staffing plan, technology stack, project management framework, references, and optional cost estimates.
• Submission: Via Bidnet by 10/29/2026; questions due 10/12/2026.
• No award will result from this RFI; it is purely for market research.
