College and Career Readiness Assessment

The State of Nevada, through the Nevada Department of Education, is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to administer a College and Career Readiness Assessment for all students enrolled in Grade 11. The selected vendor will be responsible for delivering and supporting the assessment, including development, administration, scoring, and reporting. This is a multi-year project with an initial term of four (4) years, covering Fiscal Years 2023-2024 and 2025-2026, with an option to extend for two (2) additional years. The vendor must demonstrate how the assessment will align with Nevada Academic Content Standards, provide access for all students, deliver a service call center, process student data, score assessments, provide comprehensive psychometric support, and publish technical reports and interpretation guides. Vendors must also explain how equity is integrated into the test development process and how equity will be advanced through the proposed product. Proposals will be evaluated based on demonstrated competence, conformance with the RFP terms, cost, experience in comparable engagements, and expertise and availability of key personnel.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors; however, the selected vendor must have a valid Nevada Business License and may be required to disclose any prior or ongoing contractual issues, as well as confirm compliance with various state requirements. The contract will be awarded to a single vendor, and the total contract amount shall not exceed a specified dollar value. While the current incumbent is not identified, vendors are encouraged to register on the NevadaEPro procurement platform to receive future solicitation notifications.
