Online Educational Assessments

The Florida Department of Corrections is pursuing a single-source procurement for online educational assessments through CASAS eTests software, specifically targeting adult learners within their educational programming. The procurement seeks to acquire comprehensive assessment tools that will provide online testing in English and Spanish, focusing on mathematics and language arts curriculum. The solicitation, identified as PUR 7776 SS-25-092, covers a five-year term (60 months) with specific requirements for tracking student progress, automatically converting test scores into grade levels, and retaining test scores without expiration. The contract opportunity is jurisdictionally located in Leon County and was posted on May 5, 2025, with a final response date of May 26, 2025. Key deliverables include software that enables rapid assessment and appropriate educational programming for inmates, with the software needing to meet specific technical requirements for comprehensive student evaluation.

The procurement appears to be a non-restricted solicitation, with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The total estimated contract value is $990,075.00, covering the entire five-year implementation period. CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems) is positioned as the sole vendor meeting the Department of Corrections' specific requirements, which has prompted the single-source procurement approach. The solicitation invites potential vendors to provide information about their capability to supply the described services, with departmental officials reserving the right to review and confirm the single-source determination. While no incumbent vendor details are explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a new implementation of educational assessment technology within the corrections system. The software must integrate with existing departmental systems and provide comprehensive tracking and assessment capabilities for adult learners in correctional educational environments.
