This is a Solicitation Addendum documenting a revised schedule of events for Nebraska Department of Education's Request for Information (RFI) NDERFI260504 for Professional Learning and Material Implementation Providers. The RFI seeks to identify qualified providers for inclusion on the Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Grant Appendix D Approved Providers List. The request for information was released on June 23, 2026, with written questions due by June 30, 2026. Responses to written questions were posted by July 7, 2026 and July 10, 2026. The proposal opening date was revised to July 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM Local Time, with submissions required via email to NDE.Procurement@Nebraska.gov and attendance at an online Zoom meeting. The evaluation period runs from July 16, 2026 through July 28, 2026, followed by a revision period for the approved provider list from July 28, 2026 through August 4, 2026. Publication of Appendix D listing approved providers is scheduled for August 11, 2026.

Bidders are responsible for uploading electronic files by the opening date and time, with no exceptions made for technology issues. All proposals must be submitted electronically; late submissions will not be accepted. The addendum clarifies that it is incorporated into the original solicitation and supersedes any conflicting provisions in the original RFI documents. This RFI does not result in a direct contract award; rather, it establishes a qualified provider list for future Request for Proposal issuances related to the CLSD Grant.
