Active SLED Opportunity · MICHIGAN · GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY
AI Summary
Grand Traverse County seeks information from vendors for a cloud-hosted Learning Management System (LMS) to serve 600 employees. The LMS must support SCORM standards, integrate with Workday via API, and use SAML 2.0 SSO. This RFI gathers technical and cost details for a best-of-breed external LMS solution.
Grand Traverse County is issuing this Technical Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing a cloud-hosted Learning Management System (LMS) for approximately 600 county employees across 27 departments. This RFI is designed to gather detailed technical information, integration capabilities, and cost structures. The County requires a modern LMS to deliver mandatory compliance training, safety certifications, professional development, and departmental skills training. While Grand Traverse County utilizes Workday for core HR and financial functions, the native Workday Learning module is cost-prohibitive and lacks critical operational capabilities, particularly native support for SCORM training standards used in public-sector compliance courses. The County is pursuing a "best-of-breed" external LMS strategy that leverages cloud infrastructure hosted strictly within the Continental United States, authenticates securely via SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO), and seamlessly integrates with Workday via automated API connections. This approach ensures employee records and training completions synchronize automatically without manual data entry, while optimizing public funds and securing a technically superior compliance engine. **Solicitation Type**: RFI - Request for Information (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.2239.C10848451 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 05/24/2026 12:00 AM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Owner Organization**: Cliff DuPuy **Solicitation Number**: IT_LMS_20260507 **Reference Number**: 0000423552 **Pricing**: Item Based **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | No | No | **Line Items**: | No | Description | UOM | Qty | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | Core LMS License (600 users) Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Each | 600 | | 2 | Workday Integration Connector Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Year | 1 | | 3 | SAML 2.0 SSO Configuration Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Each | 1 | | 4 | Implementation & Setup Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Each | 1 | | 5 | Administrator Training Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Each | 1 | | 6 | Standard Support (included tier) Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Year | 1 | | 7 | Premium/Elite Support (optional) Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Year | 1 | | 8 | Additional API Access Fees Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Year | 1 | | 9 | Annual Price Escalation Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Percent | 1 | | 10 | TOTAL YEAR 1 Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Lot | 1 | | 11 | TOTAL YEAR 2+ Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Year | 1 |
