California’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing has sent out a Request for Offer to procure a firm to help design and develop an electronic Accreditation Data System for the Streamline and Strengthen the Accreditation Process (SSAP) project. Firms qualified under the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) are invited to submit offers.
The commission is looking for a firm with expertise in Microsoft SQL Server and Visual Studio. RFO responses are due Nov. 16.
The SSAP project is being completed using a combination of contractors and in-house staff. The total budget is nearly $6.5 million, according to the California Department of Technology, which has oversight over the project slated to be finished in June 2017.
“Between October 2015 and June 2016 the Commission worked with a vendor to create a data warehouse (SQL Server) and over 20 data dashboards using Tableau. This effort is to create an improved Accreditation data system and continue to build on the existing systems by gathering more data that will be stored, and prepared for use for the Accreditation data system and future data dashboards,” the commission explained in the RFO.
