The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is seeking sponsoring organizations to provide educator preparation attestations that serve as approved alternative assessments to the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). This procurement, identified as 26MACISCS5, is structured as a Departmental Master Agreement Rolling Enrollment Bid. The performance period runs from April 7, 2026, through June 30, 2033. This is a fee-for-service, multiple vendor award where funding is based on rates paid directly by test takers to the vendors, with no direct financial contribution from DESE. Eligible organizations must hold an Approved or Approved with Distinction designation and offer initial teacher licensure programs corresponding to the attestations. Mandatory requirements include the implementation of evidence-based early literacy programs where applicable, the submission of a Subject Matter Knowledge Statement of Assurance, and the designation of a Dean and specific content experts to sign off on attestations. Proposals are evaluated based on viability and alignment, with a specific scoring rubric ranging from Non-Responsive to Outstanding. Selected vendors are responsible for the design of the attestations, defining allowable evidence and evaluation methodologies, and securely reporting results to candidates and DESE via the Educator Licensure and Renewal portal. All contractors must comply with Commonwealth of Massachusetts standard terms, including strict cybersecurity encryption standards, data protection laws, and background checks for personnel. Responses must be submitted electronically via COMMBUYS by the final deadline of March 20, 2031.

National Assessment Tutoring
Solicitation # 678PUR-NationalAssessmentTutor
The National Assessment Tutoring Initiative is a Request for Applications issued by the Louisiana Department of Education to identify qualified organizations capable of providing high-quality, targeted tutoring to public high school students. The program focuses on improving student performance in English, reading, and math for national college entrance and assessment exams, specifically the ACT, SAT, CLT, WorkKeys, and ASVAB (AFQT). Approved providers will offer individualized or small-group instruction, delivered either in person or virtually during the school day. Rather than a single prime contract, the LDOE will maintain an approved tutoring vendor guide from which Louisiana schools and school systems will select and contract with providers directly. Applications are evaluated on a pass/not pass basis across four primary factors: alignment with initiative goals, commitment to serving all learners including English learners and students with disabilities, quality of tutoring and instructor qualifications, and stakeholder engagement. Key requirements include the submission of diagnostic assessments, individualized learning plans, and five structured lesson plans. Tutors must meet specific qualification criteria, such as holding a bachelor's degree or having relevant standardized test experience, and must pass mandatory background checks. Additionally, providers using artificial intelligence must certify that no student personally identifiable or confidential data will be shared with AI systems. Out-of-state corporations must obtain a certificate of authority from the Louisiana Secretary of State to be eligible.
