From the meeting
The council plan says the ESC Career Counseling Team had already implemented YouScience and Career Exploration through Virtual Reality (VR) by the 2023-2024 and August 2024 timeframes, and that Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition sponsors the annual Transfr VR software subscription for 20 VR headsets. It also says more than 21,000 students used the VR program and 27,000 simulations were viewed through May 2026. This is incumbent and expansion intelligence for the software and hardware ecosystem, not an open RFP.
A seller should focus on renewal, headset support, and expansion to more districts or grades.

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 United Local Schools issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks United Local Schools'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 United Local Schools 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 information technology government opportunities in Ohio?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces information technology pre-RFPs in Ohio as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
