About this opportunity
Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida is pursuing a single/sole source procurement for a universal district license with Certiport for K-12 certification programs and exam delivery services for the 2025-2026 school year. The procurement covers comprehensive digital certification programs across multiple disciplines, including Adobe, Agriscience, Apple Swift, Autodesk, Cisco, IC3, Intuit, IT Specialist, Health Sciences, Hospitality and Culinary, Meta, Microsoft Office Specialist, Project Management, and Unity. The license includes six exams per student, unlimited practice tests on the GMetrix platform, and one free CERTIFIED! Conference registration. The notice will be posted from Tuesday, April 8, 2025, to Thursday, April 17, 2025, with a protest period extending from Thursday, April 17, 2025, to Tuesday, April 22, 2025. This procurement is being conducted under Rule 6A-1.012(12)(d) of the Florida Administrative Code, and HCPS emphasizes that this is not a competitive solicitation and will not consider any responses as formal bids or proposals.
The procurement is specifically targeted at Certiport as the sole provider of these exam delivery systems, with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents mentioned. Certiport demonstrates significant global reach, offering certification assessment and testing services in over 150 countries and 25 languages through 12,000 Authorized Testing Centers worldwide. The universal district license will cover all K-12 schools within the Hillsborough School District, with provisions for additional license purchases within the same school year at the identical unit price and expiration date as the original order. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the license suggests a significant investment in digital certification and skills development for the district's students. The procurement represents a strategic approach to providing standardized, industry-recognized certification opportunities across multiple technological and professional domains.
