Employment Testing Service

The Iowa government authority is seeking a vendor to provide a hands-on, job-realistic, and consistently administered employment testing service. The agency is trying to solve the problem of ensuring that candidate evaluations align precisely with the essential physical requirements of key job classifications across the state. The resulting Post Offer Employment Testing analysis will identify one or more job-specific tests to determine whether a candidate is qualified or disqualified for a position, based on post-offer or post-employment fit-for-duty requirements. The scope of work requires the provider to maintain multiple testing sites across Iowa to ensure equitable access and support statewide participation. The provider must regularly assess these testing site locations to confirm they provide sufficient geographic distribution, accessibility, and capacity to meet ongoing testing needs. Additionally, the provider must submit a complete list of all testing locations along with the corresponding mailing address for each site. Bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost.
