Comprehensive Mathematics Instructional Resource for Middle School

Littleton Public Schools (LPS) in Arapahoe County, Colorado, is seeking a comprehensive mathematics instructional resource through Request for Proposal (RFP) #7-25-1 for middle school students. The procurement targets instructional materials for approximately 2,500 students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades across four comprehensive middle schools and one alternative program, serving approximately 55 educators. The primary objective is to provide mathematics resources that support students in mastering the 2020 Colorado Academic Standards for Mathematics, with a specific focus on an accelerated instructional pathway to Algebra 1 by 8th grade. Proposals are due by August 6, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. MST via BidNet, with sample materials required by August 15, 2025. The evaluation criteria will be based on price, firm qualifications, prior experience, and teacher/student experiences with trial lessons. Bidders must provide a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) demonstrating compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. The district anticipates a single-year contract with options for five subsequent fiscal years, subject to annual review and satisfactory negotiations.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The contract appears open to qualified publishers of mathematics instructional resources who can meet the specified requirements. Professional development for mathematics educators is scheduled for late May to support implementation. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement will cover comprehensive instructional materials for approximately 2,500 students across multiple grade levels. The pricing terms require bidders to submit costs in a separate, sealed envelope, with all expenses including shipping and delivery (F.O.B. Destination) guaranteed for the contract duration. Purchase orders will be created pending Board of Education approval, suggesting potential flexibility in contract value. The district's emphasis on compliance with Colorado Academic Standards and accessibility requirements indicates a comprehensive approach to selecting an instructional resource that meets both educational and technological standards.
