Curriculum Design/Redesign and Program and Course Design/Redesign Support

The University of Texas at Tyler has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 750-25-26-004 seeking comprehensive curriculum design and redesign support services across multiple academic colleges, including Education, Health Professions, Nursing, Business, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering. The procurement seeks vendors capable of providing instructional design support, program and curriculum development, implementation assistance, video production, Learning Management System (LMS) content design, and curriculum services aligned with enrollment management and accreditation requirements. Specific emphasis will be placed on competency-based education practices and online program support. Key proposal requirements include detailed fee-for-service pricing models encompassing delivery, labor, insurance, taxes, overhead, and profit. The solicitation includes a pre-proposal conference scheduled for December 19, 2025, at 9:00 AM CST via Microsoft Teams, with a question deadline of December 29, 2025, and an intent to bid deadline of January 7, 2026. Proposals must be submitted by January 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM CST through the Bonfire Hub Portal, with an anticipated contract term beginning April 1, 2026, for an initial one-year period and potential renewal for two additional one-year terms.

The RFP incorporates specific requirements for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) compliance and mandates that proposers submit a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan as a separate document. Evaluation criteria will include cost, proposer reputation, service quality, alignment with university needs, past relationships, long-term cost considerations, and additional relevant factors. The University reserves the right to award contracts to one or more proposers, reject all proposals, or terminate the procurement process. Payment terms are set at net 30 days via electronic funds transfer, and the University is tax-exempt. Notably, other UT System institutions may potentially utilize the resulting contract, which proposers should consider when developing pricing models. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of services and multi-college scope suggests a potentially significant contract value. Proposers must ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities and acknowledge all addenda as part of their submission.
