The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is soliciting qualified vendors to provide Information and Outreach services for the Public Education Grant (PEG) program through this one-year contract with potential renewal options for up to two additional one-year periods. The procurement seeks comprehensive information dissemination and outreach activities designed to promote awareness and utilization of the PEG program among eligible Texas school districts and charter schools. Key deliverables and objectives include developing and distributing educational materials, conducting targeted outreach campaigns, managing communication channels, and providing technical assistance to potential applicants. Vendors must demonstrate substantial experience in educational outreach, grant administration communication, and proven ability to reach diverse school populations across Texas. The evaluation criteria emphasize past performance, relevant experience, and the proposed approach to achieving outreach objectives, with pricing evaluated based on cost-effectiveness and value delivered for the proposed activities. All proposals must be submitted by April 1, 2026. Vendors must clearly itemize all costs associated with information development, distribution channels, staffing, travel for outreach events, and technology platforms used for communication.

The solicitation includes set-asides for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and women-owned businesses in accordance with Texas procurement preferences. Award decisions will be made based on a comparative evaluation of technical merit, experience, and cost proposals. All vendors must comply with applicable Texas administrative code requirements and federal grant compliance standards if federal funds are utilized for this initiative. The contract budget will be determined based on available PEG funding and legislative appropriations to TEA; however, no specific budget range or award value has been publicly disclosed in the solicitation materials. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the available documentation. Interested organizations should note that integration with existing TEA systems and compliance with state procurement processes will be required.
