About this file
This is an email communication from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) Director of Non-Public Services to non-public school principals and leaders regarding an upcoming Request for Proposal (RFP) process for Term Agreements. The RFP will establish a list of approved vendors to provide supplemental academic resources, fine arts, career-technical, and non-public school services on an as-needed basis for K-12 students and staff in both public and non-public schools. CMSD is soliciting vendor recommendations from non-public school leaders to ensure qualified vendors are included in the RFP invitation process. The projected RFP timeline includes posting on April 6, 2026, with final vendor questions due by April 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM, district responses and addenda issued by April 27, 2026 at 3:00 PM, and RFP responses due by May 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The contract start date is scheduled for July 1, 2026. School leaders are requested to submit vendor recommendations through a Smartsheet form, providing vendor name, contact information, justification, service descriptions, and relevant notes on how vendors support school programming.
This is a multi-award bid for contracted services with no guarantee of purchase, designed to establish a competitive list of approved vendors. Submission of vendor information during the current recommendation phase ensures vendors are included in the RFP invitation list upon posting. Interested vendors may respond to the RFP once it opens; however, responding to the RFP does not guarantee the award of a Term Agreement with CMSD. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, or other financial details are addressed in this communication.
