Integrated Assessment Software Platform

The Tempe Union High School District is soliciting proposals for an Integrated Assessment Software Platform to replace its expiring contract with SchoolCity. The selected system must enable the District to create, deliver, score, and manage both District and State assessment data for approximately 11,220 students across six high schools. The platform must align with Arizona Standards and integrate with the District's existing infrastructure, specifically the Synergy Student Information System and the DecisionEd data warehouse. Technical requirements specify a preference for web-based, vendor-hosted systems, though district-hosted options must be Microsoft SQL-based, and the system must be compliant with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML, or ADFS authentication. The award will be determined by a point formula system totaling 1,000 points, evaluating responsiveness, qualifications, and cost, with a minimum technical score of 70% required to proceed to price evaluation. The contract is intended as a multi-term agreement with cost escalators extending through fiscal year 2031-2032. Compliance requirements include adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act, E-Verify, and the Solid Waste Disposal Act, alongside strict prohibitions against the use of forced labor from the People's Republic of China. Proposals are due by January 14, 2027, via the OpenGov portal, and must be submitted in two separate volumes to keep the technical response and cost proposal independent.
