Pre-bid brief · Live notice · Under NDA

A prime's pre-bid brief for University of Wyoming KLW-2026-30.

A sole source notification, not an RFP. The University named EAB Global and described the product by EAB's own features. Techtiz drafts the offshore-capable portion of a Statement of Capabilities behind a US prime, never touching student data, never University-facing.

The sole source read

This is a notification, not a competition. The Statement is the trigger.

The University named EAB in the title, described the product by EAB's brand features, and set a five-day response window. Every structural signal favors proceeding with EAB. A Statement of Capabilities is intelligence the University uses to decide whether to compete the work, not a bid to win.

What it isSole source intent to a single named vendor, EAB Global, Inc., for a three-year purchase order. Informational only. Not a request for competitive quotes or proposals.
The windowA Statement of Capabilities may be submitted by any party that believes it can perform comparable work, through the portal, before the deadline.
The decisionThe University reserves sole discretion to proceed with the sole source award or to issue a competitive solicitation. It is the sole judge of quality, performance, and price, stated in that order.
The governing termsThe University's own Terms and Conditions, not the Wyoming Procurement Code that binds state executive agencies. The University's grievance process governs disputes before any judicial review; courts defer to university procurement discretion absent fraud or arbitrary action.
Navigate 360 · The differentiator
The University named Navigate 360 first, and any party that cannot show a credible integration for it is dismissed regardless of other strengths.

Five named integrations sit in scope, but Navigate 360 is the one that decides the read. It is the student success CRM, it carries the highest switching cost, and the University listed it ahead of Appily, Virtual Tour, Edify, and the Adult Learner Recruitment partnership. A response that does not address Navigate 360 by name, with a live integration or a credible technical specification, is dismissed. This is the strongest hook in the notice.

Techtiz helps the prime assemble the Navigate 360 integration specification, the data-flow description, and the test plan as documentation and back-office support. Credentials and live system access stay with the prime. Techtiz holds no Navigate 360 certification and builds no live integration.
Task allocation

What a remote back-office Subcontracting performs, and what stays with the prime.

The boundary that keeps a Subcontracting model clean on a FERPA-gated enrollment engagement.

Regulatory and contractual, not statutory. There is no licensing bar here; this is software and services, not sealed professional work. The limits are FERPA and contract. No University student personally identifiable information moves offshore at any stage, including proposal preparation. Any AI tool that processes student data runs on FERPA-compliant US infrastructure. The University's Terms and Conditions were not included in the notice, so until they are reviewed, offshore support for proposal preparation is assumed permitted.

Remote technology & back-office Subcontracting
Aggregated data only, no student PII

Prospect name database management, aggregated data only, no individual student records

Omnichannel campaign strategy design

Creative asset development from University brand guidelines, no student data

Campaign analytics and reporting, aggregated performance data only

Parent communication content creation, no PII

Statement of Capabilities drafting and document preparation, under NDA, no student data

Navigate 360 and Appily integration: documentation and testing support only, senior oversight US-based, credentials held by the prime

Techtiz operates only in this column, behind the prime, under a signed NDA, never touching student data and never contacting the University.
US prime only
FERPA-gated, credentialed, accountable

Edify data management integration, because it touches the University data environment

AI tool student and parent data processing, because FERPA requires US data handling

Holding and using integration credentials for University systems

Any handling of University student PII at any stage

Gates, stated plainly. A signed NDA, with Wyoming governing law, is in place before any draft or material moves offshore. No student PII offshore at any stage, including proposal preparation. Integration credentials remain with the US prime. AI and data processing run on FERPA-compliant US infrastructure. The NDA covers University student and enrollment data, any proprietary platform specifications shared, and the pre-bid materials, and requires return or destruction of University-sourced materials at engagement end.

Where bids fail

Failing to address Navigate 360 by name The hook

The trap

A response that does not name Navigate 360 and show a live integration or a credible technical specification reads as incapable of the highest-switching-cost connection.

The cost

Dismissed regardless of other strengths. This is the single clearest disqualifier in the notice.

Scope & deliverables

Seven core deliverables, mapped to EAB's named features.

A recruitment services platform and support, scored on a feature-by-feature match against EAB's capabilities. The 50,000-name prospect database and the five-system integration set define the technical weight.

01
50,000-name prospect list

Access to at least 50,000 academically qualified senior prospect names, with a documented acquisition methodology.

02
Omnichannel strategy

A customized communication strategy across email, SMS, direct mail, digital, and social, with parent and guardian engagement.

06 · The hook
Integration documentation

Within 60 days of contract start, across Navigate 360, Appily, Virtual Tour, Edify, and the Adult Learner Recruitment partnership.

Value & pricing

No budget was stated, and no price is submitted at this stage.

Every figure below is an estimate derived from scope, the 50,000-name database, the five-system integration complexity, and the three-year term. The comparable EAB pricing is a public-source estimate. Submitting a price at the notice stage is itself a disqualifier.

Low
~$820k/ 3 yr

Stripped team, fewer integration touchpoints, no AI tools.

MidBase case
~$1.07M/ 3 yr

Full integration set, AI help tools, and creative production. Model under NDA

High
~$1.38M/ 3 yr

Full on-site team, premium AI tools, extensive creative production.

Comparable EAB pricing at similar institutions is estimated at about $200k to $400k per year, roughly $700k to $1.1M over three years. All figures are estimates; no budget appears in the notice.
The variable that moves price most is prospect name acquisition cost plus the omnichannel media buy. These are pass-through costs and can be 40 to 60 percent of total contract value. Any pricing position must address this directly.
No pricing is submitted at the notice stage. Pricing readiness is held for a competitive solicitation if one is issued. Techtiz back-office pricing is scoped per engagement after NDA.
Compliance & records exposure

FERPA is mandatory. Open records exposes anything not properly marked.

The notice names no required certification framework. Two frameworks are recommended, not required. Governing law is Wyoming, First Judicial District, Albany County, with the University's grievance process before judicial review.

FERPA · mandatory

The competing field

28 targetable primes behind one named incumbent.

From the prime-contractor database. One of the 29 mapped firms is EAB, the incumbent being challenged, so 28 are targetable. The database carries no revenue or employee data, so no combined-revenue figure is shown. All figures are public-source estimates for prime targeting.

No revenue size split is shown. The database revenue and employee columns are empty for every firm, marked TO BE RESEARCHED. The priority placeholders (14000, 4000, 5500) are bucket codes, not dollars. The size signal here is the priority split, not revenue.
The Wyoming count does not reconcile. The database quick-stat line claims 3 Wyoming firms; only 2 appear in the rows, FerryWEB Technologies (Sheridan) and Hardwired Radio (Cheyenne). Treat 2 as verified. State concentration from the verified rows: Texas 5, California 5, Colorado 4, Wyoming 2, Florida 2, Arkansas 2, with single firms across nine more states.
Most recognizable national players, named by reputation with no dollar figure available: EAB Global (incumbent), Ruffalo Noel Levitz, Encoura, Randstad USA, and Liaison International. Adjacent enrollment and student-information vendors on the reference tab include LeadSquared, Modern Campus, PowerSchool, Pathify, Campus Cafe, and Symplicity.
The full named map and the relevance scoring are in the full document pack, shared under NDA.
How Techtiz fits

The offshore-capable production behind your Statement.

Techtiz maps the prime's capabilities against EAB's named features, drafts the integration documentation, and builds the campaign and creative scaffolding. The prime owns the platform, the credentials, the student data, the submission, and every word said to the University.

NDA Prime name and engagement scope stay under NDA. No student PII ever leaves the US prime. Techtiz holds no Navigate 360 certification, no University credentials, and never contacts the University.

Frequently asked questions

Pre-bid brief & confidentiality

Quick answers about how to use this engagement example and what detail is available under NDA.

Why is the prime contractor name withheld?

Most SLED subcontract work sits under mutual NDA and prime branding requirements. Public summaries describe engagement type, technical surface, and outcomes. Partner names and proposal content are shared only with explicit written permission or under an executed teaming agreement.

Can Techtiz support our bid on a similar pursuit?

Yes. If your pursuit matches this engagement type, email sled@techtiz.co or use the teaming intake form. Within 1 business day a U.S.-based partner manager replies with a mutual NDA template and a calendar slot—never agency-facing.

What do we receive under NDA?

Full RFP-decode packs, compliance matrices, technical volumes, submission runbooks, and named-resume options scoped to your vehicle and timeline. Prime name, pricing, and agency data stay inside the prime boundary.

Does Techtiz contact the procuring agency?

No. Techtiz is subcontract-only and never faces the agency. Your program manager holds the client relationship, sign-off, and all agency communication.
