MTSS coaching - RFI

The Oklahoma State Department of Education is issuing Request for Information EV00000951 on MultiTiered System of Supports (MTSS) coaching services, with supplier responses due August 5, 2026. This is a non-competitive informational exercise that will not result in a contract award or purchase order; OSDE will use responses to develop an approved reference list of MTSS coaching providers for districts' future consideration.

Suppliers must demonstrate alignment to the OKMTSS framework and address three requirement categories. Foundational Requirements encompass capacity across multiple districts and geographies, personnel qualifications, past performance, capacity-building methods, data literacy practices, professional development scope, progress reporting, and coordination with OSDE. Coaching and Service Delivery Requirements cover organizational MTSS experience, districts served by size and state, relevant demographics experience, Oklahoma-specific experience, organizational structure, coach credentials, caseload information, staff turnover rates, coaching model alignment, differentiation approach, multi-level coaching capability, outcome data, fidelity tools, professional development samples, technology platforms, and subcontractor information. Mandatory Compliance Requirements include EDGAR and 2 CFR Part 200 compliance, federal program experience (Title I, Title IVA, IDEA, ESSER), federal program funding experience documentation capabilities, audit readiness, and compliance with federal and state student data privacy laws, specifically FERPA.

Suppliers must provide pricing information including hourly rates for various coaching activities, tiered pricing options based on district size, multi-district cohort pricing availability, and travel and expense billing practices. Responses are submitted through the Oklahoma Supplier Portal. The deadline for vendor questions is July 20, 2026. Participation is voluntary and at vendor expense with no obligation for OSDE to issue a future solicitation or enter into a contract.
