The purpose of this Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) is to solicit replies for activities related to the continued implementation of summative assessments in grades 5 and 8 Science; end-of-course (EOC) assessments for Civics, Biology 1, and U.S. History; the Florida Civic Literacy Exam (FCLE); and the Florida Advanced Course Test (FACT) Psychology assessment, for administrations beginning in winter 2025 for FCLE and spring 2026 for all other assessments, and continuing through summer 2030 for the base contract. In addition, five one-year optional renewals may be exercised for the administrations in 2030-31, 2031-32, 2032-33,2033-2034 and 2034-2035. The grades 5 and 8 Science assessments and EOC assessments will continue to be administered as computer-adaptive tests (CAT). The FCLE and FACT assessments will be computer-based but are not currently computer-adaptive. For the purposes of this ITN, the assessments mentioned in this section will be collectively referred to as the statewide, standardized assessments in Science and Social Studies.
