The Jones County School District (JCSD) in Mississippi is seeking a comprehensive Literacy/Math Assessment Program through a Request for Sealed Bid (Bid#042820252) for nine of its eleven campuses, targeting Pre K-8th grade students. The procurement focuses on acquiring a software curriculum service that provides computer-adaptive screening and diagnostic assessments with specific requirements including comprehensive reporting, supplemental learning resources, individualized lesson plans, and professional development options. The software must align with Mississippi College and Career Readiness Standards and integrate with ClassLink and OneRoster platforms. Proposals will be evaluated using a district leadership team rubric, with sealed bids due by May 23, 2025, at 1:00 PM CST, and bid opening scheduled for May 27, 2025, at 9:00 AM. The contract term covers the 2025-2026 school year, with potential continuation for the 2026-2027 term based on satisfactory service evaluation. Vendors must submit a firm fixed price and comply with licensing, certification, and sam.gov registration requirements.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district's total enrollment is approximately 8,500 students, with grade-level populations ranging from 46 to 285 students across different schools. Funding for the contract is subject to federal and state appropriations, and JCSD reserves the right to reject any proposals or negotiate with the most suitable vendor. The comprehensive assessment program will cover six elementary schools and three high schools, requiring a vendor capable of providing sophisticated educational technology solutions. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the document, the scope suggests a significant investment in educational technology and assessment tools. The successful vendor must demonstrate the ability to provide a robust, adaptable platform that can support the district's educational objectives and integrate seamlessly with existing technological infrastructure.
