Online Computer-Based Software and Assessments

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is seeking to purchase a 3-year license for TABE Online Software from Data Recognition Corporation (DRC), the sole provider and publisher of the TABE Online software, which has been approved by the State Board of Education. FDC requires this computer-based assessment software to determine inmate needs, eligibility, program placement, and institutional assignments. The total estimated value of the contract is $700,000 over the 3-year term. FDC has determined that DRC is the sole source that can provide the required products and services, as the software must integrate with FDC's current processes and systems, and utilizing a different assessment software would result in significant cost increases and system changes for the agency.

This procurement is limited to DRC as the sole source provider. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. DRC is the incumbent vendor, and the TABE Online software must be integrated with FDC's existing infrastructure and technology. The solicitation has a due date of June 30, 2022, with no listed dates for questions, responses, proposals, site visits, or bidders' meetings.
