High School Health Curriculum Resource

School District U-46, located in Elgin, Illinois, is seeking proposals for a high school health curriculum resource through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The district requires a standards and skills-based digital curriculum targeting 25 health teachers and 3,000 students across its 6 high schools. The procurement seeks a comprehensive digital platform that aligns with National Health Education Standards and Illinois Learning Standards, emphasizing culturally responsive content with Spanish language materials. The evaluation will use a 100-point scoring system, with key criteria including pricing (25 points), standards alignment (20 points), student-engaging content (15 points), unit assessments (15 points), skills-based learning (15 points), and vendor experience (10 points). Critical dates include a proposal due date of November 24, 2025, finalist announcement on December 15, 2025, with implementation planned for the 2028-2029 school year and a proposed six-year contract term. Vendors must submit proposals through the Bonfire eProcurement System, with all questions to be submitted via the electronic portal by November 17, 2025.

The district explicitly welcomes participation from minority-owned and women-owned businesses and serves a diverse student population with 95 home languages and more than half of students from Hispanic families. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned in the documentation. The procurement allows for potential award to a sole or multiple providers, with contract extensions possible subject to Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases and mutual agreement. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, vendors must provide comprehensive pricing for 25 teacher licenses and 3,000 student licenses, with options for multi-year subscription models. The district serves 11 communities across 90 square miles in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, with over 34,000 students in 57 schools during the 2023-2024 school year. The RFP emphasizes the need for a non-textbook-based, regularly updated digital resource that supports diverse learning needs and includes comprehensive digital platform capabilities.
