NDERFP250530 - College Test Costsheet.xlsx

This is a vendor cost sheet template for the Nebraska Department of Education and Workforce (NDE) in response to Request for Proposal NDERFP250530 for a nationally-normed and widely-accepted standardized college entrance exam to be administered to third-year cohort students. The procurement was posted on September 26, 2025, with proposals due by October 28, 2025. The contract is structured as a multi-year engagement spanning five project years, with the primary deliverable being a standardized college entrance exam tailored for third-year students to be administered in Spring 2027. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive assessment services including project planning and management, assessment design and development, assessment administration, technology platform support, scoring and scaling, data and reporting, psychometric validation and peer review support, operations and technical documentation, professional development and student supports, and customer service.

The cost sheet template requires vendors to provide detailed pricing breakdowns across all ten primary service categories for each of the five contract years, with provisions for optional supports and enhancements. The template currently displays zero-dollar line items pending vendor completion. While specific funding amounts are not detailed in the cost sheet itself, the multi-year contract structure and comprehensive scope of services suggest potential annual contract values ranging from several hundred thousand to over one million dollars depending on implementation scale across Nebraska's educational institutions. No specific set-asides, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendors, or funding source restrictions are explicitly identified in the documentation. The procurement appears designed to be open to qualified educational testing providers with demonstrated expertise and track records in standardized assessment development and administration.
