Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Iowa Department of Administrative Services Central Procurement Bureau is seeking Vendors who are interested in providing information regarding available career development tools and student skills assessments for students in grades 9-12 with a focus on providing feedback/results that can be used to help students, parents, school counselors, educators, business and industry design programs that are based on student’s skills and employer needs. The assessments would ultimately lead to development of unique, nontraditional, innovative, creative career pathways for students ideally beginning while still in high school and eventually leading to full- or part-time employment upon graduation with the opportunity to complete an aligned program of post-secondary study while working. Information received from Vendors in response to this RFI may be used to provide background information for the preparation of a Request for Proposal (RFP). The intended purpose of this RFI is to allow all interested Vendors to present statements of interest, qualifications and strategies for addressing the needs of the State in this area.
