The board joined a cooperative bidding effort for databases, research tools, e-books, automation and media for school library systems for school year 2026-2027. Capital Region BOCES was appointed to advertise, receive competitive proposals, and award contracts on behalf of participating districts. The named publisher and platform list shows a broad library-content buying cycle that is still being procured.

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.
When will Rockland Boces issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Rockland Boces's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Rockland Boces before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more library government opportunities in New York?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces library pre-RFPs in New York as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
