Description

This three‑year contract (2027‑2029) calls for a single prime contractor to deliver live‑virtual bilingual fluency testing for the California Employment Development Department. The contractor must administer audio‑based listening/speaking, written reading/writing tests across a broad set of languages, report results within five days, and comply with ASTM F2889 standards. The solicitation prohibits subcontracting, requires a per‑test unit‑price pricing structure, and includes small‑business and DVBE incentives, though no formal set‑aside is mandated. The contract will be funded pending state and any applicable federal appropriations, and payment will be made per the standard EDD invoicing process. • Live‑virtual testing only – no IVR or prerecorded formats allowed. • Languages covered include Hindi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, Khmer, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Armenian, Arabic, Farsi, Punjabi. • Pricing is per‑test (listening/speaking, reading, writing) with an average test rate used for award evaluation.

Contract value

$300,000

The solicitation estimates 200‑400 tests per year, totaling roughly 600‑1,200 tests over the three‑year term. Assuming a conservative average per‑test fee of $250 (mid‑range for professional language assessment), the contract value would be between $150,000 and $300,000. If higher‑complexity languages command premium rates (e.g., $350‑$400 per test), the upper bound could approach $400,000–$480,000. Considering typical government budgeting cushions and the inclusion of small‑business incentives, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is approximately $300,000 for the full three‑year period.
