THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Authority will consider asking the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to amend Rapid Community Response Program funding so about $1,000,000 can be used to implement a 24-month entrepreneurship strategy and operational plan based on the Center on Rural Innovation report. Funds would support entrepreneurial programming and related activities. This is early-stage program design, so providers of small business support, training, incubator services, and program management can help shape how this money is used if they engage soon.
Funding comes via the Rapid Community Response Program; scope includes entrepreneurship programming and operations based on CORI’s strategy report.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Ardmore's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
