Administration of Remote Pesticide Certification and License Exams

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.
