Professional Development and Consulting Services

Fort Bend Independent School District is soliciting proposals to establish a pre-approved pool of professional development and consulting firms and individuals, with proposals due September 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CDT under RFP 26-081KS. No set-aside or preference program applies.

The scope spans 29 service areas across two departments: Organizational Development (Adult Learning Design, Strategic Improvement Planning, Mentorship & Induction, Instructional Coaching, Leadership Development, Program Evaluation & Research, Stakeholder Engagement & Process Improvement, and Texas Child Care Provider Licensing) and Curriculum & Instruction (Counseling, Gifted & Talented, ESL, Health & PE, STEM Science/Math/Robotics, Early Childhood, RTI/MTSS, Advanced Academics, Literacy, Behavior Support, Health Services/Nursing, Library Services, Digital Media, Dual Language, Mandarin Immersion, Translation Services, World Languages, Special Education, Parent & Family Engagement, and Career & Technical Education). Vendors may propose for one or more service areas. The District intends to award multiple vendors and build a pre-approved provider pool; work assignments will be determined by individual campuses and departments based on specific needs, with no guaranteed minimum volume. The initial contract term is three years with the option for up to two additional one-year renewals at the District's discretion.

All proposed subcontractors and consultants must be identified at proposal submission with sufficient qualifications documentation; the District reserves approval rights for replacement subcontractors after award. Insurance requirements include general liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), workers compensation with statutory limits, and umbrella excess liability equal to the contract amount for contracts exceeding $100,000; single-member LLCs may substitute a Hold Harmless agreement. Vendors retain ownership of pre-existing proprietary frameworks and intellectual property; Trainer-of-Trainer content rights and future District use rights will be negotiated based on project scale.

Pricing must be submitted via Attachment A for all applicable service areas. Incumbents from RFP 22-048AB (awarded in 2022) must submit new proposals to continue providing services. Submissions require Section I Narrative of Proposed Services, Section II Reference Contact Form, Section III Project Information Questionnaire, pricing schedule, Vendor Acknowledgement Form, Addendum Acknowledgement Form, vendor background check acknowledgment, Form 1295, suspension and debarment certification, and Conflict of Interest Questionnaire; the IT Technical Specifications Questionnaire is optional. All submissions must be uploaded through the Euna Procurement portal at https://fortbendisd.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/248139. The question period closed August 20, 2026; Addendum No. 5, posted September 6, 2026, addresses 60 vendor questions and supersedes conflicting RFP provisions.
