Literacy All Year Initiative

The Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC) in Florida has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Literacy All Year Initiative. ELCHC is seeking a single or multiple organizations or independent contractors to provide 50 sets of educational materials, including Big Book storytelling kits, Big Book stands, complete listening centers, and additional Big Books. The materials must be of high quality and suitable for educational purposes. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM EST on December 2, 2023, and the contract term is from January 2, 2024 to February 15, 2024. The RFP provides detailed specifications for each component of the educational materials, and pricing proposals must include itemized costs for each component as well as any associated fees. Responders must also provide justification if they are the sole source for these materials.

The project will be funded 100% from federal funds, and the ELCHC will facilitate the delivery of materials to the selected locations within Hillsborough County. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the RFP does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also does not include any listed award values or budget ranges.
