About this file
This is an addendum to a Request for Proposal issued by the Indiana Department of Administration on behalf of the Indiana Department of Education for the I-SEAL 2027 Indiana Special Education Alternative License program. Addendum #1, dated prior to the August 3, 2026, 3:00 PM Eastern submission deadline, removes all language, requirements, and evaluation criteria related to Minority & Women's Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) programs and Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business (IVOSB) participation. The changes affect multiple RFP documents including the main RFP document, Sample Contract (Attachment B), IEI Form (Attachment C), Business Proposal (Attachment E), Q&A Template (Attachment G), Pre-proposal Networking Form (Attachment I), and Attestation Form (Attachment J). Specifically, the addendum eliminates the M/WBE Commitment Form entirely, removes Section 32 from the Sample Contract, deletes diversity subcontractor agreement requirements from the Business Proposal section, and strips MBE/WBE and IVOSB language from all supporting attestation and networking documents.
The removal of diversity subcontracting requirements and associated evaluation points represents a significant modification to the competitive evaluation structure. Previously, the RFP included diversity goals of 8% Minority Business Enterprise, 11% Women Business Enterprise, and 3% Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business participation, with respondents meeting or exceeding these goals receiving evaluation points and potential bonus points. All references to these subcontracting partnerships, commitment forms, and diversity engagement processes have been eliminated from the proposal requirements and evaluation criteria, fundamentally altering the scoring methodology and submission requirements for all prospective vendors.
