Battelle Developmental Inventory 3rd Edition (BDI-3)

The Florida Department of Health's Early Steps Program has a need to purchase a standards-based instrument for comprehensively assessing early child development. The Department is seeking to procure the Battelle Developmental Inventory 3rd Edition (BDI-3) and associated Electronic Record Form licensing through a single source purchase from Riverside Insights, LLC. The BDI-3 is the only product that meets the program's requirements to evaluate developmental milestones in children from birth to three years of age, including social-emotional, communication, adaptive, motor, and cognitive domains. The estimated value of this 3-year procurement is $656,943.75. The Department is requesting authorization to make this purchase, as it will provide continuity of care for the Early Steps Program and is in the best interest of the state.

This procurement does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor, Riverside Insights, LLC, is the sole source provider of the BDI-3 and associated licensing, and there is no existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The Department has determined that no other products are available in the marketplace that meet the program's specific requirements.
