Rountable Announcement for Sam.gov K-12 Newcomer Curriculum Customizable Services.pptx

This is a roundtable announcement PowerPoint presentation for a pre-solicitation market research opportunity. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is seeking qualified contractors to provide commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) K-12 educational curriculum customization services tailored for newcomer and migrant students, along with professional services to support implementation and monitoring across ORR-funded residential and care programs for unaccompanied alien children (UAC). The curriculum must include child assessments (initial, 30-day intervals, and exit assessments), incorporate trauma-informed teaching strategies, and integrate social-emotional learning while being customizable to various ORR program models including shelters, secure care, long-term foster care, therapeutic care sites, and potential home-schooling options. The target student population includes K-12 newcomers, immigrant children, and migrant youth with varying English language proficiency levels, interrupted formal education backgrounds, and highly transient lifestyles requiring flexible, modular learning units.

The roundtable discussion is scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EST via virtual meeting, with advance registration appreciated but same-day registration accepted. Amendment 1 extended the response due date to September 17, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time and invited industry representatives to participate in the roundtable to discuss requirements and provide feedback. The solicitation number is ORR-27-0001, and registration for the roundtable is available through the provided Zoom link. The Division of Acquisition Requirements (DAR) is hosting the event, and selected contractors will be responsible for providing training and technical assistance to ORR-funded program teaching staff.
