The CDE seeks bids to provide all necessary materials, equipment, labor, and services for large print conversion on an as-needed basis. Prospective bidders must submit a sample of textbook conversion demonstrating competency using CDE-provided files, which must be requested from Contract Analyst Siena Geach at SGeach@cde.ca.gov by Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 3:00 pm PDT. Related documents including Question and Answer Document #1 and additional addenda were posted on April 13, 2026, with subsequent updates on April 16 and April 17, 2026.

Addendum #1 specifically modifies pages 16-17, Exhibit A, Scope of Work, Article V regarding Contractor Responsibilities and Formatting Requirements for Book Format. The revision establishes that default line spacing shall be 1.25 inches unless otherwise approved by the CDE Large Print Analyst and/or CDE Contract Monitor. Additionally, the addendum requires that Table of Contents formatting use alternating lines with light pastel backgrounds rather than lead lines. These formatting specifications ensure consistency and accessibility in the conversion of instructional materials to large print format.
