This document is a Request for Qualification (RFQ) issued by the Arkansas Department of Transformation and Shared Services Office of State Procurement (TSS OSP) on behalf of the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The purpose is to establish a Qualified Vendor's List (QVL) of multiple contractors to provide professional development services supporting the implementation of Professional Learning Communities in Arkansas. The contract term is for one year with the option to renew for up to six additional one-year terms. Key focus areas for the professional development services include foundational literacy/science of reading, strengthening career pathways, strengthening instructional quality, and multi-tiered systems of support for behavioral and mental health services. Respondents must demonstrate expertise in the focus areas, experience providing professional development to entities of similar size and scope, and the ability to provide a researched-based professional learning system with documented success in improving student outcomes.
The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The solicitation does not include details on possible award values or budget ranges. Pricing information and scope and sequence of professional learning offerings must be submitted prior to award and will be provided on the QVL. Contractors must also maintain satisfactory ratings on a customer satisfaction survey administered by the Department annually.
