ACT Testing

The District of Columbia Public Schools and District of Columbia Public Charter Schools are preparing to administer ACT testing services to 11th and 12th grade students through a forthcoming procurement forecast issued by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education. The initiative aims to ensure all eligible high school students in the district have access to the ACT college admissions exam, supporting college readiness and postsecondary planning. Although specific details such as the solicitation number, NAICS code, and point of contact are not yet provided, the forecast outlines an upcoming opportunity for qualified vendors to deliver comprehensive ACT testing administration services across DC public and charter schools. The contract is anticipated to require the full coordination of test logistics, including secure delivery and storage of materials, trained proctoring personnel, scheduling across multiple school sites, and accurate reporting of student scores in compliance with state and federal guidelines. Services will likely encompass pre-test preparation support, student registration management, accommodations for students with disabilities, and timely data submission to the district. While the posting date indicates the forecast was published in mid-2026, the actual solicitation and award process will follow, with performance expected to occur during the standard academic testing window for juniors and seniors. The place of performance will span all participating DCPS and DCPCS schools, requiring nationwide or regionally based providers with experience in large-scale standardized testing infrastructure.
