The Ohio State Contract CSP009655 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for comprehensive educational assessment services, specifically focused on developing, administering, scoring, and reporting state tests for mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies across multiple grade levels. The contract enables the Ohio Department of Education to procure critical testing infrastructure, including test development, delivery systems, scoring engines, and reporting platforms. It covers unique testing scenarios such as adult testers, dropout prevention and recovery schools, and a newly introduced pilot program for remote test administration for internet and online community schools.

The IDV is awarded to Cambium Assessment Inc. through the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) with a contract period from July 25, 2022, to September 30, 2026. As a competitive selection contract, it provides statewide coverage for Ohio and has an estimated annual value ranging from $15.3 million to $20.9 million. The contract includes additional cost options such as standard setting for subject areas, family report printing and shipping, and a family reporting portal. A notable recent amendment introduces a remote testing pilot program estimated at $200,000, targeting approximately 20,000 testers during the January 27-February 21, 2025 testing window.
