Overview

The ARM (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing) Institute is a Manufacturing Innovation Institute (MII) funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense under Agreement Number W911NF-17-3-0004, and part of the Manufacturing USA® network.

The ARM Institute is seeking proposals from qualified service providers to add functionality to its national workforce web-based platform, www.roboticscareer.org which currently offers a comprehensive, structured database of training and education programs offered by training providers in the United States that are aligned with the ARM Institute’s Robotics Competency Framework.

The existing content database was built and is managed manually and includes descriptions of almost 17,000 programs from over 2,400 training providers. The ARM Institute is seeking a solution provider to create an automated system (“System”) that is integrated with the RoboticsCareer digital platform for the collection, validation, and maintenance of training and education providers and their relevant programs. As part of the solution, the data collected must include specific attributes which are outlined in the statement of work.

The new functionality must be able to identify, validate, and keep current several different training provider and program attributes such as type of degree, how offered (online, hybrid) and other elements as identified in Section 3.2.

This is work for hire; the source code will be owned by the ARM Institute, although we anticipate working with the Solution Provider for enhancements.

The data collected must be easily accessed for data analytics and reporting.
