Single Feasible Source Purchase
| Title: |
| Discover Nature Schools Curriculum Development Services |
| Description: |
| The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) requires a contract for custom development of the Discover Nature Schools (DNS) Curriculum, which includes curriculum development, alignment of content to state education standards and grade level expectations, editing, styling for ADA compliance, and print and digital design services for Discover Nature Schools textbooks (Grades K-12). The curriculum development requires collaboration with MDC and subject matter experts and educators to develop Missouri-specific and conservation-specific curriculum. |
Vivayic, Inc. qualifies as a single feasible source because they are the only company that offers the level of custom development needed by MDC for custom curriculum design and development services that meet MDC’s requirements for the development of the DNS Curriculum. Vivayic, Inc. is the only company that provides full development of the curriculum that includes writing, editing, design, and web design. The resulting curriculum teaches students from pre-kindergarten through high school about Missouri’s native plants, animals, and habitats and connects them with nature. The curriculum meets the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Missouri Learning Standards (MLS), Next Generation Science Standards (Next Gen), and Cross Curricular Standards.
According to RSMo 34.044, a single feasible source can be utilized when the product/service requirement is proprietary and only available from a single provider. As a result, this represents a proprietary requirement that meets the criteria as a single feasible source under RSMo 34.044 and the State is pursuing this acquisition as a Single Feasible Source.
