NIGP 91710: Contracted Services, Curriculum Development

NIGP 91710 Contracted Services, Curriculum Development is an Item code that encompasses the design, development, and delivery of educational curricula, professional development programming, and related instructional materials and services that state and local governments procure to support K-12 districts, higher education institutions, workforce development programs, and specialized training initiatives. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring comprehensive curriculum packages with embedded professional development, single-vendor platform implementations for curriculum management and catalog publication, online course design and development, fine arts and multilingual education programming, career and technical education (CTE) pathway materials, and consulting services for instructional improvement and staff coaching. The issuing bodies span independent school districts (Austin ISD, Klein ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Gallup-McKinley County Schools, Fayette County Public Schools, Texarkana ISD), state universities and research institutions (Kennesaw State University, Georgia Southern University, University of Texas at Tyler, Texas Southern University, Valencia College), and county or regional procurement offices. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple single/sole source procurement notices for proprietary curriculum platforms including English Discoveries language learning software, Carnegie Learning math coaching services, Brainspring Phonics First professional development, and Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) curriculum and certification.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia and broader representation in New Mexico, Colorado, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP021 (Fine Arts Instruction, Performances & Specialized Production Services, responses due August 4, 2026), Cypress-Fairbanks ISD's RFP 26072010RFP (Contracted Educational Services and Professional Development Services, responses due June 30, 2027), Kennesaw State University's eRFP 54300ERFP0000016622026 (KSU Curriculum Software Purchase for campus-wide curriculum management and Banner SIS integration, responses due June 17, 2026), Klein ISD's RFP 26-102 (Districtwide Professional Development and Related Materials, responses due April 24, 2026 via Bonfire), and Texas Southern University's RFO 717-26-745 (Online Course & CHW Program Design Services with Canvas LMS integration, responses due May 5, 2026).
