Discover Nature Schools Curriculum Development Services

The Missouri Department of Conservation is pursuing a single-feasible-source contract with Vivayic, Inc. for custom development of the Discover Nature Schools curriculum spanning grades kindergarten through 12, with proposals due July 23, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement under RSMo 34.044 — Vivayic is the designated sole feasible source as the only vendor offering the comprehensive custom curriculum development services required.

The curriculum will teach Missouri's native plants, animals, and habitats and requires collaboration between the MDC, subject matter experts, and educators to create Missouri-specific and conservation-focused content.

The contract term is one year from the contract date with two additional one-year renewal options available. The Missouri Office of Administration is managing the procurement. The contract requisition number is RM012603554 and the single feasible source number is STATE 0000000492SL. Sean Mayer is the buyer.
