Instructional Materials Internet Website

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is seeking a qualified contractor to develop an Instructional Materials Internet Website through a Request for Offer (RFO 701-25-009), with responses due on October 22, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Central Time. The project requires designing, developing, and supporting a modern, user-centered digital system for Instructional Material Review and Approval (IMRA) and local classroom review processes. The contractor must create a secure, accessible, and scalable web-based application using an agile approach, with a minimum requirement of three scrum teams to support comprehensive web development, application maintenance, support, business intelligence, and managed services. Key deliverables include a web platform that supports publishers, reviewers, educators, and the public, with mandatory compliance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards and TEA's data privacy and security policies. The project is funded through Texas Education Code 31.025 and Senate Bill 1, with an anticipated contract start date in January 2026 and a contract term spanning four state fiscal years. Contractors will be expected to develop a comprehensive digital system that ensures high-quality instructional materials are accessible to all Texas students.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, but vendors must register and submit their proposals through Euna Procurement (Bonfire) at the TEA Bonfire Hub. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the agency anticipates awarding one or more contracts with payments based on satisfactory completion and acceptance of deliverables, to be established through monthly invoicing procedures. The project will require significant technological capabilities, including comprehensive web development, application maintenance, business intelligence, and data warehouse management. Vendors interested in responding must carefully review all documentation and can seek additional information by contacting the TEA Contracts and Purchasing Division via email at TEASolicitations@tea.texas.gov. The comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial technology investment, with the potential for significant ongoing contract value across the four-year term, focused on modernizing the state's instructional materials review and approval processes.
