Consulting Services in Curriculum, Instruction, and Educator Development

Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (LFCISD) in Cameron County, Texas, is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP #25-26-15) to establish an approved list of qualified vendors for consulting services in curriculum, instruction, and educator development. The procurement seeks providers capable of delivering comprehensive educational consulting services, including instructional coaching, curriculum design, student engagement, classroom management, assessment and evaluation, leadership development, content area specialization, support for special programs, social-emotional learning, character education, and new teacher induction and mentorship. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Euna Procurement Portal by 2:00 PM on December 3, 2025, with the contract term spanning from February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027, and potential extensions up to three additional one-year periods. The evaluation process will utilize a 100-point scoring system, with points allocated across various criteria: cost (30 points), service quality (20 points), district needs compliance (20 points), vendor reputation (10 points), past relationship (5 points), long-term cost (5 points), and additional factors such as relevant experience, staff expertise, and methodology. Vendors are required to provide detailed pricing information, including hourly rates and potential additional fees.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must complete multiple forms as part of their submission, including a Vendor Direct Deposit Authorization Form, Form W-9, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Form CIQ), and a Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295). While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the district reserves the right to purchase services from alternative sources if deemed more favorable and may conduct cost or price analyses during the evaluation process. Potential vendors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities, including the ability to provide ongoing services, relevant experience serving school systems, and strong references from current school system or governmental entity customers in Texas. The procurement process requires vendors to provide detailed company background information, years of experience, expertise in educational consulting, and the capacity to support long-term success for the Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District.
