U--Student ELA and Math Assessments for BIE

The Bureau of Indian Education, under the Department of the Interior, is soliciting proposals for the provision of K-12 English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments for 183 BIE-funded schools. The contract requires the delivery of commercial off-the-shelf assessments for the base year, with potential for customization or new development in subsequent years. Comprehensive services include assessment administration, scoring, a student registration portal, reporting, training, project management, and helpdesk support. The project is designed to align with BIE College and Career Ready Standards and involves a base period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with options extending through the 2029-30 school year. The procurement emphasizes strict technical and security compliance, requiring adherence to FISMA, NIST SP 800-53, and ISO/IEC 19086 standards, as well as Section 508 accessibility and zero-trust authentication. Contractors must manage Controlled Unclassified Information and Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with FERPA and DOI IT baseline compliance guidelines. The contract structure utilizes a mix of Firm Fixed Price and Time and Material CLINs to cover licensing, scoring, and operational costs. While originally a small business set-aside, the solicitation was later amended to unrestricted competition with a final response deadline of July 10, 2025.
