Description
The Federal Bureau of Prisons is seeking information from qualified vendors for a computer-based test designed to evaluate cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and oral language skills. The test should be a comprehensive battery of tests in these areas and should be delivered in a digital format with no physical materials required for shipping. The vendor will be required to provide scoring and advanced analysis services for all assessments, as well as near real-time reporting about test results. The contract will consist of one base period of 12 months, with four consecutive 12-month option years. The vendor will also be required to provide professional development for Federal Bureau of Prisons Special Education Teachers on the administration, scoring, and interpretation of the assessment system.
Some key features of the required system include:
• A cloud-based, browser-locked, managed testing platform
• Interfaces and tools for administration of the HSE testing
• A single centralized backend administrative management interface
• Support for high availability configurations
• Application event logging and user session average bandwidth usage/consumption
• Data encryption and secure transmission
• Compliance with Section 508 accessibility standards
The vendor will be required to provide a detailed proposal outlining their approach, including technical requirements, security measures, and pricing information.
