These materials are recognized to have superior properties for the purpose of evaluating student strengths and weaknesses in cognitive and academic domains. These materials are employed system wide (throughout DoDEA) and therefore continuity of information is essential. All staff must be using the same assessment techniques to ensure clinical and procedural consistency in the placement and planning decisions that are generated through the Special Education assessment process. There are no alternative assessments that can be used in place of these products and retain compliance with DoDEA recommended assessment practices as indicated in the DoDEA Special Education Procedural Guide. These materials are proprietary to the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - Riverside Publishing Company in terms of both authorship and distribution availability. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - Riverside Publishing is the author/developer of these tests and they are also the sole vendor for these products as well. No other vendors are authorized to license or sell/distribute these assessment materials. This is not a request for competitive proposals. IAW FAR 13.501(a)(1)(iii), the sole source justification is being made available.
