The Louisiana Department of Education has an open provider Request for Applications, 678PUR-LiteracyScreener&DX, for Literacy Screeners and Diagnostics.

Deadline: Louisiana LaPAC lists the current bid open deadline as October 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM CT. The controlling LDOE RFA states that applications are accepted on a bi yearly basis in spring and fall and directs applicants to the embedded online application link.

Scope: LDOE is establishing a vetted pool of organizations able to provide literacy skills screeners for grades 4 through 12, literacy diagnostic assessments for grades K through 12, and related professional learning and implementation support. Approved providers may contract directly with Louisiana schools or school districts, which remain responsible for applicable procurement requirements.

Funding and contract value: No statewide applicant award ceiling or fixed contract value is published. This is a provider approval RFA rather than a grant award, so no grant match or cost share is stated.

Application requirements: The RFA requires a complete online application covering organization information, selected assessment category, relevant literacy assessment and professional learning experience, organizational roles for assessment development and validation, implementation and instructional data use support, assessment design and evidence, reporting, and other required sections. Assessments are expected to be fixed form and administered in person by trained literacy professionals.

Atlas analysis: Atlas Opportunity Score 32/100. N9+ Fit Score 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit 0/100. The verified scope concerns educational literacy assessment and educator support, not clinical examination, vitals, telehealth, or healthcare service delivery. The Nonagon N9+ device and platform does not have a legitimate role in this RFA. Dr. Miltie and QC Healthcare are classified No Bid / Do Not Pursue on the currently verified scope.
