K-5 Mathematics Curriculum

Poudre School District R-1 is seeking a comprehensive K-5 mathematics curriculum solution through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) #25-630-001 for its 32 elementary schools located in Larimer County, Colorado. The district requires a curriculum that aligns with Colorado Academic Standards and supports three key priorities: increasing student learning rates, preparing students for graduation with options, and promoting student connections and well-being. Vendors must provide a complete instructional package including curriculum materials, digital and online resources, professional learning services, and implementation support for 555 teachers and 11,692 students. The curriculum must be culturally relevant, anti-racist, and accommodate diverse learners, including advanced students, English language learners, and students with disabilities. Evaluation will utilize a 0-2 rating scale, with the district potentially selecting one or more vendors for contract negotiation. Key dates include May 21, 2025, as the deadline for questions, and July 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM MT as the proposal submission deadline, with materials expected to be delivered by May 1, 2026.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district is planning a potential 10-year contract, with an initial estimated purchase covering materials for current student and teacher populations. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the RFP specifies requirements for technology integration, online and blended learning capabilities, and comprehensive professional development resources. The district requires vendors to provide evidence of curriculum effectiveness through third-party research and demonstrate capability to support implementation across multiple educational settings. Insurance requirements are substantial, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and $1,000,000 in Technology Errors & Omissions insurance, with specific provisions for data security and protection of student information. Although a precise budget is not explicitly stated, the scale of the procurement suggests a significant investment, with potential for ongoing annual purchases and expansion based on student enrollment increases.
