About this opportunity

Cook County, Illinois is requesting qualifications to establish a prequalified provider pool for arts education services, with applications due September 11, 2026. The solicitation aims to create a broad vendor roster to supply schools with diverse artistic programs and services while streamlining procurement and maintaining compliance with spending thresholds.

The scope encompasses arts education services and programs delivered to schools within Cook County. The county seeks to qualify a spectrum of arts organizations to serve as vetted partners available for schools to select based on program fit and student needs.

This is a qualification-stage solicitation; the RFQ establishes eligibility for a dynamic provider pool rather than a single contract award. Schools will draw from the qualified roster for individual program selections, with procurement conducted through established spending thresholds and compliance procedures. No fixed contract value, contract term, or estimated volume is specified in the solicitation description.
