3-Year K-12 Math Curriculum

Cumberland County Schools (CCS) in North Carolina is seeking sealed proposals for a comprehensive 3-year K-12 mathematics curriculum adoption, with proposals due on February 4, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET. The district requires core instructional materials for approximately 49,183 students across 86 schools, spanning grades K-12, that align with North Carolina State Standards and support rigorous mathematical learning. Vendors must provide a complete package including print and digital materials, professional development services, and implementation support for the school years 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028. Key deliverables include standard-by-standard curriculum alignment, materials supporting Spanish and Mandarin Chinese Dual Language Immersion programs, and comprehensive professional development plans. Critical submission requirements include eight hardcopy proposal sets, detailed pricing breakdowns for materials, digital subscriptions, and services, and sample materials to be delivered to eleven designated locations by March 3, 2025. Finalist presentations will be conducted on March 19, 2025, with final vendor selection and Board of Education recommendations anticipated in April 2025.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must carry substantial insurance coverage, including $2 million in general liability, and comply with federal uniform guidance requirements for federally funded contracts. The district reserves the right to award contracts to multiple vendors across different grade spans (K-5, 6-8, high school) based on curriculum alignment and student needs. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement will be funded through district budgeted funds and federal grants. The district uses Canvas as its Learning Management System, and vendors must ensure their materials are compatible with this existing technological infrastructure. The curriculum must accommodate diverse student populations, including students with special needs, English language learners, and those requiring enrichment opportunities. Proposals should demonstrate comprehensive, research-based approaches that are user-friendly for both teachers and students.
