About this file
This is a Bid Question and Answer document for Nevada Department of Education RFP 30DOE-S3869, addressing the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education (CIEE) Implementation Pilot program. The RFP seeks a qualified vendor to design, implement, and evaluate a focused pilot of learner-centered, competency-based practices in selected Nevada schools. The pilot will operate for a 9-month initial implementation period within a 12-month contract term commencing September 8, 2026, following Board of Examiners approval. Written questions were due by May 21, 2026, client references by June 8, 2026, and proposal submissions by June 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time through nevadaepro.com. Notice of intent is anticipated by July 10, 2026, with notice of award by July 28, 2026. The RFP emphasizes practical implementation evidence generation, identification of enabling conditions and barriers, and production of actionable guidance to inform future decision-making, with deliverables designed to support potential replication across additional Nevada districts post-pilot.
Key Q&A clarifications address the lack of a prescriptive statewide definition for mastery-based progression, allowing respondents to define approaches aligned with RFP objectives; the pilot's focus on testing and pressure-testing ideas rather than full system redesign within the 9-month period; no requirement for committed pilot sites at proposal submission but demonstrated site identification strategies expected; alignment requirements with existing state initiatives and the Future of Learning Network; and prioritized success indicators including student engagement and ownership of learning, educator instructional practice changes, pilot structure functionality, and implementation progress. Respondents are encouraged to propose competency-aligned measures beyond existing accountability metrics, and deliverables must be designed for potential replication across additional Nevada districts following the pilot period.

| QUESTION_NBR | CREATED_BY | QUESTION_SUBJECT | QUESTION_TEXT | ANSWER_TEXT |
| 1 | DANASTASIO@NCEE.ORG | Pilot Design and Readiness | How does NDE define "mastery-based progression" for purposes of this pilot? |
To what extent are pilots expected to move beyond traditional seat-time structures and is there an expectation that happens within the 9 months or is the emphasis more on pressure-testing ideas?
Should respondents include committed sites?
How should this work align with the existing Future of Learning Network and current competency-based pilots?
Is the intent of this pilot primarily proof-of-concept implementation, development of a scalable model, or informing future statewide policy direction? How does NDE define “mastery-based progression” for purposes of this pilot?
The RFP does not prescribe a single statewide definition or model for mastery-based progression. Respondents should describe how proposed practices align with the objectives and requirements identified in the Scope of Work. To what extent are pilots expected to move beyond traditional seat-time structures and is there an expectation that happens within the 9 months or is the emphasis more on pressure-testing ideas?
The intent of the pilot is not full system redesign or statewide implementation within the 9-month contract period. The RFP is designed to support focused implementation and testing of selected learner-centered and competency-based practices in authentic implementation settings. Respondents may propose approaches that explore alternative instructional structures where appropriate; however, the emphasis is on generating practical implementation evidence, identifying enabling conditions and barriers, and producing actionable guidance that can inform future decision-making. Should respondents include committed sites?
Respondents are not required to include committed pilot sites at the time of proposal submission. However, proposals should demonstrate a strategy for identifying and supporting pilot sites aligned to the Scope of Work. How should this work align with the existing Future of Learning Network and current competency-based pilots? Respondents should demonstrate how their proposed approach aligns with the requirements and objectives identified in the Scope of Work. As outlined in the RFP, the work should align with existing state initiatives while remaining within the defined pilot scope Is the intent of this pilot primarily proof-of-concept implementation, development of a scalable model, or informing future statewide policy direction? The intent of the pilot is to support focused implementation of selected learner-centered and competency-based practices in order to generate practical implementation evidence, actionable insights, and a refined pilot model that may inform future decision-making.
2 DANASTASIO@NCEE.ORG Data Collection and Early Evidence of Impact Should respondents propose competency-aligned measures beyond existing accountability metrics?
| What indicators will NDE prioritize most heavily in evaluating pilot success? (Student engagement, Instructional shifts, Competency demonstration, Implementation fidelity, educator capacity) | Should respondents propose competency-aligned measures beyond existing accountability metrics? Yes. Respondents are encouraged to propose focused measures aligned to the pilot practices and early indicators of implementation success described in the Scope of Work What indicators will NDE prioritize most heavily in evaluating pilot success? (Student engagement, instructional shifts, competency demonstration, implementation fidelity, educator capacity) Respondents should propose practical and measurable indicators aligned to the Scope of Work and proposed pilot design.
