The state of Texas is seeking a vendor to provide and maintain a comprehensive labor market information software platform. The selected contractor will be responsible for operating and updating the platform, ensuring that it is accessible via standard web browsers around the clock, excluding periods of system maintenance.

Key features required for the platform include detailed analytics on staffing patterns, projected growth based on user-defined intervals, replacement demand, occupational wages, and extensive demographic data. The software should also offer job posting analytics—enabling queries by keywords, dates, industries, occupations, skills, certifications, and employers—as well as provide access to original job advertisement text. Additionally, it must include a robust database of regional employers, historical and current postsecondary educational institution awards, and commuter patterns related to employment by workplace and residence.

The platform must support data export functions in multiple formats such as Excel, CSV, Word, PDF, PNG, and JPG. Comprehensive technical documentation should be easily accessible, detailing data reference periods, sources (where possible), variables, and clear definitions. This solution is designed to support data-driven decision-making for a variety of workforce, education, and economic development stakeholders in Texas.
