Comprehensive Student Support & Assessment Delivery, Management, and Analytics System

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida, the 13th largest school district in Florida serving over 59,000 students, issued a Request for Information (RFI) on March 16, 2026, seeking qualified vendors to provide a Comprehensive Student Support and Assessment Delivery, Management, and Analytics System. This non-binding procurement solicits information on integrated platforms capable of supporting student-level through district-level analysis and decision-making across 37 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, nine high schools, and six special centers. The system must deliver early warning indicators for at-risk students, multilingual attendance tracking and communications, discipline reporting capabilities, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and Response to Intervention (RtI) functionality with intervention planning and data tracking, assessment authoring with support for QTI file imports and vendor-created question banks aligned to Florida BEST Standards, both paper-based and online assessment delivery with lockdown browser compatibility and extensive student accessibility tools, and comprehensive reporting and analytics including student profiles, achievement indicators, Florida accountability calculations, and longitudinal analyses across multiple assessment types such as FAST, EOCs, WIDA Access, iReady, and national assessments. The technology infrastructure must support single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, data encryption, daily Student Information System integration (such as Skyward), and accommodate approximately 35,000 concurrent test takers across 38 assessments without performance degradation. Critical deadlines include written questions due by March 25, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, proposal submissions due by April 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST, and target system demonstrations scheduled for April 22-23, 2026. Required qualifications include active registration with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations, completion of the System Requirements Checklist, demonstration of Florida implementation experience, detailed information about setup timelines and training models, cyber liability insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $1,000,000 annual aggregate, and compliance with Florida background screening requirements for personnel requiring school access.

No incumbent vendor is specified as this represents preliminary market research intended to inform future procurement decisions and establish benchmarks for potential direct negotiations with selected vendors. The RFI does not establish a specific contract award date or contract term within the submission materials, as this is an information-gathering solicitation rather than a binding procurement. Respondents must address integration requirements with existing systems, provide comprehensive pricing information identifying variables, methodologies, and additional costs associated with system configuration, training, ongoing support, regulatory enhancements required by future changes, and customization requests, and submit exceptions to the draft Services Agreement and Student Data & Privacy Agreement. Vendors must identify all Florida school districts currently using their system and comparable out-of-state districts with implementation dates to demonstrate market presence and experience. The RFI materials do not specify award values or budget ranges, as the district intends to review responses through a stakeholder committee representing multiple departments before making a recommendation to the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent regarding continuation with the current 2011-era solution or direction for future negotiations with qualified vendors pursuant to Florida Administrative Code 6A-1.012(14).
