National Job Skills Assessment

The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Competitive Selection Contract CSP023678 provides a state-wide Indefinite Delivery Vehicle for National Job Skills Assessment services, specifically focused on the WorkKeys testing program. This contract enables the Ohio Department of Education and participating districts to purchase WorkKeys tests with a structured, incremental pricing model. The services allow educational institutions to assess and validate job skills through standardized testing, with individual test costs ranging from $11.25 to $12.75 depending on the contract year.

The contract is awarded to ACT Education Corp. and runs from September 30, 2022, to June 30, 2026, covering the entire state of Ohio. As a requirements contract, it provides flexibility for districts to purchase tests as needed without guaranteed volume commitments. The contract was initially issued through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. SRC0000002207 and includes comprehensive administrative provisions such as student data handling protocols, school registration processes, and confidentiality requirements. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the pricing structure and multi-year term suggest a significant state-wide educational assessment initiative.
