Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. The purpose of this contract is to conduct a Proof of Concept (POC) demonstrating the capabilities of MIDAS Education’s Data Forge Artisan platform, an advanced AI-enhanced data analysis and visualization solution designed specifically for educational settings. The Data Forge platform offers innovative, no-code data integration capabilities, enabling users to quickly and seamlessly ingest, relate, and analyze large datasets from disparate sources, including both state-level and district-level education data. This Proof of Concept aims to validate MIDAS’s ability to: • Efficiently integrate large datasets from OSPI's Comprehensive Education Data and Research System (CEDARS), including student demographics, program membership, enrollment, course-taking, and absences across all public school districts and state-tribal education compact schools for multiple academic years (2011-2025). • Demonstrate secure, automated, role-based data access and permissions management, ensuring compliance with data privacy standards. • Enable intuitive, no-code data shaping, querying, and visualization, empowering OSPI personnel without extensive technical expertise to quickly access and derive insights from educational data. • Leverage MIDAS’s AI Assistant, Artisan, to accurately answer complex analytical questions, identify trends and anomalies, draw insightful conclusions, and deliver personalized, role-based recommendations to support educational decision-making.
