Description
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture seeks vendor information to support a statewide, 24/7/365 remote exam administration system for pesticide certification and licensing. The State wants a partner that can manage scheduling, identity verification, secure exam delivery, data integration with the CoreOne system, and comply with fee caps ($25 certification, $150 licensing). The vendor must also provide multilingual support, robust data security, fraud‑prevention measures, and continuous testing availability.
• Administer remote pesticide certification and licensing exams, with optional in‑person locations.
• Integrate exam results securely via API into TDA’s CoreOne system (TraceFirst).
• Ensure compliance with Tennessee fee caps, data‑security standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001), and multilingual accessibility.
• Provide 24/7/365 testing capacity, including staffing, infrastructure, and support for peak renewal periods.
• Submit detailed technical, cost, and operational information by the August 7 2026 deadline.
