PSC GACE Assessment Program

The State of Georgia, through the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC), is seeking to establish a multi-year contract with a single supplier to provide administration of the state-approved educator certification assessment program, the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators (GACE). The GACE assessments are criterion-referenced and aligned with state-approved educator preparation standards and the P-12 curriculum standards. They were developed by committees comprising Georgia educators, faculty, and content/assessment specialists. The contract will require the selected vendor to deliver the full scope of GACE assessment services, including test development, registration, administration, scoring, and reporting. Key objectives include ensuring candidates possess the necessary knowledge and skills to perform as educators in Georgia's public schools.

The procurement does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the document does not provide any information on existing infrastructure, technology integration requirements, or the anticipated award value or budget range. An optional Bidders/Offerors' Conference will be held on November 1, 2023, and proposals are due by November 28, 2023.
