This history and rationale for ITB #ESD112-DE-14B 5 A year ago, DigitalEdge awarded contracts to a number of bidders for wireless devices & related solutions (Contract #ESD112-DE-13A). Almost a month ago, we awarded contracts for additional wireless mobile devices and related solutions (Contract #ESD112-DE-14A). This current ITB will produce new additional contracts for bundled solutions, but won’t replace Contract #ESD112-DE-13A or #ESD112-DE-14A. Smarter Balanced tests will be taken online, mostly on wireless devices. Publishing a new ITB provides a vehicle for the purchasers to use as they equip their schools with wireless mobile devices and related solutions, and helps them comply with purchasing law. $40,000 and $75,000 thresholds in WA state
