NCB 6438 HumRRO

This is a non-competitive bid (NCB) contract opportunity between the California Department of Education and the Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO) for an independent evaluation of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) in accordance with California Education Code Section 60649. The original contract period was from June 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017, but due to timing of approvals, HumRRO did not begin work until July 15, 2015. This amendment requests a shift of all activities and funding from fiscal year 2014-2015 to fiscal year 2015-2016, as well as a staff change to replace one research associate. The original contract amount was $1,998,328, and this amendment is a no-cost scope of work and budget revision, with no additional time or money being added.

While this is a non-competitive bid, the contract is not exempt from the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goal attainment requirement. The incumbent vendor is HumRRO, and no other existing infrastructure or technology integration is required. The budget for this contract is $1,998,328, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond.
