Examination Services

The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), through its Consolidated Agency Purchasing Services (CAPS), is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive examination services for the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). The procurement focuses on in-person computer-based training (CBT) examination administration services to be conducted at Professional Centers and third-party locations. Specific service requirements include candidate processing, examination administration, examination development, special accommodations, and examination security for licensing examinations in multiple professional domains, specifically Real Estate Salesperson, Real Estate Broker, Appraiser professions (Certified General, Certified Residential, and Licensed), and Trades professions. The Request for Bid (RFB) was posted on June 9, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of July 1, 2025. Potential bidders must demonstrate capabilities in managing complex examination processes, ensuring test security, and providing accommodations for diverse testing populations. Key objectives include maintaining high-quality, standardized examination services across multiple professional licensing categories while ensuring accessibility and fairness in the testing process.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documentation, the contract appears to be open to qualified vendors with significant experience in professional examination administration. The scope explicitly excludes NIC (National Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology) national examinations. No incumbent vendor information was provided, and specific budget ranges or award values were not disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement suggests a comprehensive service contract requiring sophisticated technological infrastructure for computer-based testing, candidate management, and secure examination delivery. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate robust technological capabilities, proven experience in large-scale examination administration, and the ability to manage complex testing environments across multiple professional licensing domains.
