  16. Purpose of the RFP The purpose of this RFP is to select a vendor that can satisfy IDOE’s need to implement an online grants management system. Currently, IDOE administers more than 40 federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act, state, competitive, and entitlement grant programs. The new system should encompass the administration of these grants as well as have the capability to allow for the creation of future grant programs. It is IDOE’s intent to solicit proposals from vendors that use customized off the shelf solutions(COTS) in combination with a comprehensive online grants management system (that can be customized to meet IDOE’s specific needs and has a proven success record).
