DESCRIPTION


A public agency in Texas is seeking an enterprise-grade artificial intelligence agent testing and evaluation platform to support the testing, evaluation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of AI-driven agents, including conversational chatbots, virtual assistants, and task-based agentic AI solutions. The requested solution may be delivered as a Software-as-a-Service platform or an equivalent commercial offering and must support testing across development, testing, and production environments.

The scope includes pre-deployment testing, post-deployment monitoring, and ongoing quality assurance activities designed to improve reliability, user experience, and governance. The platform must evaluate response accuracy, completeness, consistency, relevance, and semantic quality; identify gaps between intended and actual responses; detect hallucinations, policy inconsistencies, response errors, and unintended behavior; assess task or workflow completion; and capture source citation links for response verification against knowledge sources.

The solution must provide automated or semi-automated evaluation of AI agent responses, including auto-generated prompts and expected responses based on knowledge sources for testing teams to review and use. It must analyze semantic meaning rather than relying solely on exact text matching, compare actual responses against expected outcomes, and highlight omissions or deviations. Required capabilities also include dashboards, reporting, performance/load/stress analysis, and integration with AI agents through APIs, logs, transcripts, or other supported mechanisms.

Questions are due by August 14, 2026. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on August 11, 2026, and the resulting contract is expected to run for one year.
