Grants Cibola County Schools is procuring Lexia Learning Systems LLC services under sole-source authority, with proposals due August 20, 2026. This is a single-vendor procurement — Lexia is the only eligible respondent.

The scope encompasses a differentiated literacy instruction program for grades K–5 and an intervention program for struggling and nearly-proficient readers in grades 6–8. Lexia's system is structured around explicit, systematic reading instruction across six instructional areas, patented Assessment Without Testing capabilities, Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) alignment, and data-driven action plans. The platform is accessible across iPad, Chromebook, and browser environments.

The contract value is $78,950 for a one-year term commencing September 1, 2026 and concluding August 31, 2027. Grants Cibola County Schools has used Lexia for K–5 instruction and reported measurable gains in reading skills; this procurement expands the program to grades 6–8. The sole-source determination, signed by Chief Procurement Officer Cooper Jones on July 7, 2026, rested on Lexia's research-proven personalized learning system and capabilities that the district found unavailable from competing vendors. The determination was posted for thirty calendar days without challenge prior to final approval by the State Purchasing Agent or the Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration. Lexia Learning Systems LLC is located at 300 Baker Avenue, Suite 320, Concord, Massachusetts.
