Art Textbook Adoption

This Request for Information (RFI) seeks textbook publishers to submit art curriculum materials for K-12 adoption across Prince William County and Portsmouth City in Virginia. The procurement is specifically designed to identify qualified publishers willing to provide art textbooks suitable for kindergarten through 12th grade students, with submissions addressing the educational standards and needs of both jurisdictions. Publishers must demonstrate their capability to deliver comprehensive art textbooks that meet Virginia's educational requirements and serve the diverse student populations in these regions. The RFI requires interested publishers to complete the submission form and provide an intent to submit by the May 22, 2026 deadline, with two supporting documents—a Publisher Intent to Submit form and a Publisher Submission Form for Art Textbooks—providing the framework for responses. Evaluation will be based on publishers' qualifications, the quality and comprehensiveness of proposed materials, alignment with K-12 curriculum standards, and their ability to support implementation across both Prince William County and Portsmouth City school systems.

The available documents—the Publisher Intent to Submit form and the Publisher Submission Form for Art Textbooks—establish the submission requirements and evaluation structure for this opportunity. While the detailed specifications regarding set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or specific technology integration requirements are not explicitly detailed in the summary information provided, interested textbook publishers should consult the attached government files for comprehensive guidelines on eligibility, submission procedures, and any applicable contract preferences. The RFI was posted on May 14, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 22, 2026, providing an eight-day window for publishers to prepare and submit their responses. Award values or specific budget ranges for the textbook adoption contract are not indicated in the posted information and would require review of the detailed submission documents for clarification on anticipated procurement volumes and contract value.
