Early learning developmental screening instruments and related services

The Florida Department of Education, Division of Early Learning, is seeking to procure Ages and Stages Questionnaire Third Edition (ASQ-3) and ASQ:SE2 screening tools to assess the developmental progress of children participating in Florida's school readiness program. The procurement includes related training, materials, and online data support services. The agency has determined that the ASQ-3 and ASQ Enterprise system are the only solutions that meet all of the state's needs, including statewide data capture, aggregation, and reporting capabilities, as well as integration with the state's Single Statewide Information System. The procurement is for a 60-month term and the estimated dollar amount is $6,590,436. This single source procurement is intended to serve the 30 early learning coalitions and the Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA) in the state of Florida, specifically within Leon County and the city of Tallahassee. The due date for interested parties to submit a response is July 23, 2023.

This single source procurement is not open to public bidding, as the agency has determined that Paul H. Brooks Publishing Co. Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing the required services. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent provider is Paul H. Brooks Publishing Co. Inc., and the existing ASQ-3 and ASQ Enterprise system infrastructure must be integrated with the state's information systems.
