Overview
The ARM Institute’s national workforce web-based platform, www.roboticscareer.org currently offers a comprehensive, structured database of job listings posted by employers in the United States that are currently aligned with the ARM Institute Robotics Competency Framework. ARM Institute will add a new competency framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) later this year.
This capability has been in place for almost three years and per guidelines for federal funding and our procurement policy, ARM Institute is putting this job posting project out for competitive bid. ARM Institute is requesting proposals for job posting data that conform to the ARM Institute Robotics and AI Competency frameworks. The job content provided must be suitable for display on the www.roboticscareer.org website and must meet specific attributes which are outlined in the Scope of Work section of this document.
This is work for hire. Any source code developed to support the project will be owned by the ARM Institute.
Note that respondents must be a U.S. based organization with all software development and data collection occurring on servers located in the United States.
ARM Institute expects to award a three-year contract by Oct. 1st and is seeking an initial data transfer in Oct. 2025.
Project Goals
- The ARM Institute is requesting proposals to incorporate job posting data (and accompanying taxonomies) into their publicly available career platform focused on manufacturing robotics, automation and artificial intelligence related occupations.
- The ARM Institute seeks a data partner that can support the roboticscareer.org platform through a robust job posting feed, coupled with skills tagging that reflects labor market data within selected occupations, geographies, and industries.
- Job posting data that reflects a complete picture of unique and active job postings for occupations in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence in manufacturing within the United States. It is imperative that the vendor makes best possible efforts to distinguish between active and expired jobs. Unique job postings for the entire United States and territories with ability to segment by geography. ARM Institute anticipates the vendor will identify jobs listed on all the major aggregators (e.g. Indeed, LinkedIn, Google for Jobs, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, CareerBuilder, Monster, Glassdoor, Dice, and SimplyHired, etc.) in addition to specific employer sites when requested.
