About this opportunity
The Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) intends to award a sole source contract to UTJ Holdco, Inc. DBA Teaching Strategies, LLC for the WaKIDS Teaching Strategies Gold® assessment tool. The contract will cover the period from July 2025 through June 30, 2028, and involves providing access to the SmartTeach GOLD platform, which Washington teachers use to document kindergarteners' skill levels upon school entry. The primary deliverables include the assessment tool and technical assistance to support implementation across various jurisdictions, including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties, among many others. The contractor will be responsible for providing technical support to users, ensuring teachers and school administrators can effectively utilize the assessment tool. Potential consultants are required to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet state requirements by July 21, 2025. The assessment tool is specifically developed with 38 research-based objectives for child development and learning, aligning with Washington state educational requirements.
The contract appears to be unrestricted in terms of organizational set-asides, with no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements mentioned. The total contract value is $3,690,910, structured with per-unit pricing of $13.45 per student portfolio in the first contract year, increasing to $14.45 in subsequent years, with a maximum of 78,495 student portfolios annually. The sole source designation is justified by the tool's unique development for kindergarten readiness assessment and its specific alignment with state educational standards. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, and the contract seems to be focused on providing a comprehensive assessment platform for kindergarten skill documentation. The procurement will be made available through the OSPI website and the Washington Electronic Business Solution (WEBS) Procurement website, offering transparency in the contracting process. Interested parties should carefully review the Sole Source Notification document for complete details on qualifications and requirements.
