K-12 Mathematics Textbook Adoption (Annual Contract)

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) is soliciting sealed proposals for RFP 26-21, seeking a comprehensive K-12 Mathematics textbook adoption contract for the upcoming academic year. The procurement targets a Tier 1 mathematics curriculum aligned with the Georgia K-12 Mathematical Framework, serving approximately 36,000 students across 20 elementary schools, 9 K-8 schools, 8 middle schools, and 11 high schools. Vendors must provide complete instructional materials including textbooks, digital resources, and supporting educational tools that can be evaluated using a detailed rubric assessing factors such as standard alignment, comprehensiveness, and learning support. The evaluation process will consider technical capabilities, company experience, functionality, references, and a completed mathematics textbook rubric, with proposals due by October 16, 2025. Evaluation criteria include weighted points for technical approach, company experience, and pricing, with the lowest-cost proposal receiving a maximum of 30 points. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience providing educational goods/services and meet specific licensing and financial stability requirements.

The solicitation appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must complete several mandatory forms, including an E-Verify Affidavit, Debarment Certification, and Lobbying Disclosure Form, which verify compliance with federal and state regulations. The contract will be an annual agreement terminable at the end of one year, with potential for two additional one-year renewals subject to mutual agreement and limited price increases not exceeding 5% per renewal. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the district reserves the right to purchase directly from publishers if more cost-effective and is not obligated to purchase full estimated quantities. Vendors must submit pricing through the district's e-procurement portal and provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their ability to meet the district's mathematics instructional materials needs. The implementation timeline includes educator reviews, parent/community input, and classroom pilots scheduled for January to February 2026.
