The State of Florida, through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), is seeking vendors to provide an Examination Administration System and Examination Proctoring Services. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) and covers the delivery of examination administration and proctoring services for FDACS. Key objectives include implementing a secure and reliable system for managing examinations, as well as providing trained proctors to oversee the examination process. Qualified vendors should have expertise in developing and administering examination platforms, as well as experience in managing remote and in-person proctoring services. The evaluation criteria for the ITN will likely focus on the vendors' technical capabilities, experience, security measures, and cost-effectiveness. Vendors must submit sealed replies by July 23, 2024, with a public opening scheduled for July 24, 2024. The evaluation and negotiation phases are anticipated to occur in August and September 2024, leading to an award recommendation on October 3, 2024, and a notice of agency decision/intent to award on October 8, 2024.

This contracting opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The ITN does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The procurement does not provide a budget range or estimated award value, as the final contract terms and pricing will be determined through the negotiation process.
