From the meeting
The college is reviewing the financial sustainability of the Certification and Testing Center in Building 6. It serves professional certification, workforce credentialing, and licensure testing through 10 vendors and ran more than 9,900 tests last year. The center posted losses of $165,000 in FY 2025 and $77,000 in FY 2026, driven by staffing, technology, and vendor reimbursement costs.
TCC is exploring renegotiated vendor arrangements, staffing changes, and remote proctoring options before deciding by the end of fall quarter.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Tacoma Community College issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Tacoma Community College's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Tacoma Community College before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
