Annual Federal and State Accountability Calculations Review Services

The Indiana Department of Education, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, requires annual federal and state accountability calculations review services. The agency is seeking to support its annual accountability determinations by hiring an independent contractor to reproduce state and federal accountability rating calculations. This process will help the agency identify and resolve discrepancies between the independent calculations and preliminary outputs before the final determinations are released. The scope of work covers an in-depth review of accountability data files, which requires comprehensive data preparation and data cleaning. The selected contractor must construct a protected database or system to perform the independent federal accountability calculations for each indicator. Additionally, the contractor must calculate the overall summative federal determinations for each school and deliver a formal report detailing the official findings, independent calculation results, and recommendations. Only organizations based onshore within the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency expects the selected contractor to perform all work offsite. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals, all clarifying questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted no later than June 26, 2026.
