Description
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture is seeking vendor information to support the remote administration of pesticide certification and licensing examinations. The state requires a secure, 24/7/365 testing platform that can handle applicant eligibility, identity verification, test security, multilingual support, and integration of exam results into the CoreOne system via a secure API. Vendors must comply with fee caps of $25 per certification exam and $150 per licensing exam, provide refund processes, and demonstrate robust data‑security controls aligned with NIST/FIPS/ISO‑27001 standards. The RFI will inform a future solicitation for a long‑term contract to manage exam delivery, proctoring, data handling, and reporting.
• Remote exam delivery with continuous (24/7/365) availability.
• Secure API integration with TDA’s CoreOne system.
• Multilingual exam support and robust fraud‑prevention measures.
• Compliance with state‑mandated fee caps and detailed refund procedures.
• Comprehensive data‑security and privacy safeguards.
