AI Contract Overview

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is seeking publishers to submit early literacy screening assessments in English for students in grades K-3 for review and possible approval under a Departmental Master Agreement. This open market solicitation aims to identify high-quality, anti-bias assessments that demonstrate strong technical adequacy and measure predictive reading skills aligned with Massachusetts Dyslexia Guidelines. Approved vendors will be prequalified to offer their assessments to public school districts, which will execute separate contracts and pay vendors directly; the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will not provide funding. The contract duration runs from the date of approval through June 30, 2031, with no renewal options. To be considered, bidders must pass initial qualification gates and be evaluated on a best-value basis, with a strong preference for Small Business Purchasing Program participants. Key technical requirements include a sensitivity, specificity, and Area under the Curve (AUC) of 0.70 or higher for the significantly below risk level, the provision of a composite percentile rank, and the inclusion of a comprehensive technical manual. Assessments must measure passage reading fluency and reading comprehension for all grades, and listening comprehension for grade 2. Preference is given to tools that include measures of Rapid Automatized Naming for grades 2 and 3, as well as encoding and spelling for grades K-3. Submissions must be uploaded via COMMBUYS and include a completed evidence form and a separate cost document detailing pricing for tools, support materials, and professional development.

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.

Solicitation # 678PUR-SteveCarterTutoringRFA
The Steve Carter Tutoring Initiative is a Request for Applications issued by the Louisiana Department of Education to identify qualified organizations capable of providing literacy and math tutoring for K-12 public school students. The primary objective is to improve student proficiency, specifically ensuring all students read on grade level by the end of Grade 3. Services must align with the science of reading, avoid three-cuing, and utilize high-quality curricula and numeracy foundational skills. Providers are required to implement a data management system to track attendance and outcomes, and they must demonstrate a commitment to serving all learners, including English Learners and students with disabilities. Tutors must undergo background checks and meet specific qualification criteria, such as holding a valid teaching certificate, an associate or baccalaureate degree, being a postsecondary student, or serving as a public school paraprofessional. Additionally, literacy tutors must complete department-approved science of reading training, and math tutors must complete approved numeracy training. The state has established maximum reimbursement rates of 60 dollars per hour for 1:1 tutoring and 40 dollars per hour for group tutoring (2-4:1), with a 20 dollar fee permitted for cancellations or no-shows. The application process for the 2026-2027 review cycle opens on January 15, 2027, and closes on March 31, 2027, with state reviews occurring through June 30, 2027. Evaluation is based on a combination of pass/fail gates, including a determination of responsibility and strict AI data privacy compliance, as well as weighted factors focusing on mission alignment, organizational goals, and the ability to achieve key tutoring outcomes. Prime contractors are prohibited from subcontracting work without express written approval from the State.
