Nwea
City-funded organization
NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) is the creator of the MAP Growth K-12 assessment suite. It operated as a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon before being acquired by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2023, and now functions as a division of HMH rather than an independent nonprofit. Its largest city contract, "To Provide Periodic Assessments" ($7,446,000, since expired), was awarded through a competitive RFP; its currently active contract, "NWEA software program line." ($1,207,500), was awarded off the DOE's pre-approved vendor listing. The company has been awarded $9.9 million in city contracts since 2018 across 5 registered contracts, with $18.8 million paid to date. 25% of the contract value awarded to it was won without a fresh competitive bid ($2,432,530 across 3 contracts), per the page's tracked metric.
