This is an Amendment 1 document for a Texas Education Agency (TEA) contract opportunity related to Information and Outreach services for the Public Education Grant (PEG) program. The amendment modifies the original solicitation IW245797 for a one-year contract with potential renewal options for up to two additional one-year periods. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive information dissemination and outreach activities designed to promote awareness and utilization of the PEG program among eligible Texas school districts and charter schools. Key deliverables include developing and distributing educational materials, conducting targeted outreach campaigns, managing communication channels, and providing technical assistance to potential applicants. The original proposal submission deadline was April 1, 2026. Vendors must demonstrate substantial experience in educational outreach, grant administration communication, and proven ability to reach diverse school populations across Texas.

The amendment establishes evaluation criteria that emphasize past performance, relevant experience, and proposed approach to achieving outreach objectives, with pricing evaluated based on cost-effectiveness and value delivered. Vendors must clearly itemize all costs associated with information development, distribution channels, staffing, travel for outreach events, and technology platforms used for communication. The solicitation includes set-asides for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and women-owned businesses in accordance with Texas procurement preferences. The contract budget will be determined based on available PEG funding and legislative appropriations to TEA, with no specific budget range or award value publicly disclosed. No incumbent vendors were identified in available documentation. All vendors must comply with applicable Texas administrative code requirements and federal grant compliance standards if federal funds are utilized, with integration into existing TEA systems required.
