Program Evaluation Services

The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges has completed the development phase of the WA Open ProfTech project, which is a federally funded initiative aimed at creating open textbooks for professional technical education. The project’s successful completion has prompted the agency to seek a qualified vendor to evaluate its impact and prepare a comprehensive report on the findings. The contract for these evaluation services is valued between $50,000 and $150,000 and is open to vendors through a solicitation process identified as 2023-RFP-007, posted on June 21, 2024, with responses due by July 11, 2024. The evaluation will be conducted within Washington State, under the auspices of the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, an organization classified under the State and Local Government Education sector. The primary contact for this project is Abraham Rocha, reachable via email at arocha@sbctc.edu or by phone at 360-704-1015. The contract aims to assess the project's overall impact, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of the open textbooks developed, and will contribute to ongoing efforts to enhance technical education resources across the state.
