Special Education Assisted Licensure Services

The Indiana government authority is seeking a vendor to manage a funded licensing assistance program for post-baccalaureate programs of study. This initiative aims to solve the shortage of qualified educators by enabling teachers to become fully licensed to teach special education in public schools. Eligible post-baccalaureate programs include both transition-to-teaching and non-transition-to-teaching pathways that eliminate excess requirements to allow rapid and streamlined completion of licensing requirements. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to perform all services offsite over a contract period of three years. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this initiative, and bidders may submit their responses digitally via email or online. The agency has scheduled a pre-bid meeting for June 24, 2026, to address initial inquiries about the program. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the opportunity no later than June 25, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the submitted digital responses to select a vendor capable of administering the three-year contract.
