Campus Fitness Programs

Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) in Fort Bend County, Texas is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Campus Fitness Programs contract through Request for Proposals (RFP) 26-046KB. The district seeks a vendor to provide K-12 fitness programs featuring on-site instructors who will deliver structured curriculum aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for physical fitness and character education. The program must include at least one full-time instructor per campus, program oversight, detailed implementation plans for high school fitness, and substitute instructor coverage. Proposers are required to have Texas PE teacher certification for instructors (preferred) and demonstrated expertise in martial arts instruction (required). The evaluation will be based on best value using weighted criteria including purchase price (25 points), vendor reputation (5 points), quality of goods or services (25 points), alignment with district needs (25 points), past relationship with the district (10 points), long-term cost (10 points), and service agreement compliance (pass/fail). Key dates include a pre-proposal virtual conference on January 28, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST, a deadline for written questions on February 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST, and proposal submissions due on February 25, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST through the FBISD Electronic Bidding Portal (Bonfire).

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract term is five years as a fixed-price agreement with potential expansion to additional campuses, and awards may be made to single or multiple vendors at the district's discretion. Resulting contracts will be available for adoption by other Central Texas Purchasing Alliance member districts. Vendors must submit several mandatory forms including the 1295 Form, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, Vendor Acknowledgement Form, Background Check Form, and Suspension and Debarment Certification. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the proposal requires vendors to submit pricing in the provided Bid Table (BT-78MS) for evaluation of fairness and reasonableness. The district reserves the right to modify agreement terms if deemed in its best interest and can cancel an award and re-award the project to an alternate vendor if a selected vendor requests changes to the standard agreement form. The contract will result in a comprehensive fitness program covering approximately 83 campuses serving over 78,000 students.
