Public Notice of intent to Award a Direct Appointment Contract

Eugene School District 4J is announcing its intent to award three direct appointment contracts for instructional support services under ORS 279B.085, with a comment period closing July 21, 2026. These are sole-source awards with no competitive solicitation.

The three contracts address distinct instructional needs. Everyday Speech LLC (Contract #27-072, $31,120) will provide specialized video-modeling curriculum for Pre-K through 12th grade students with autism spectrum disorder and social communication disorders; the District has used this platform since 2019. AspirEDU Inc (Contract #27-081, $36,323.25) will supply Grade Guardian software, selected for its integration capability with the District's existing Canvas learning management system to identify at-risk students. Committee For Children (Contract #27-084, $60,781) will deliver Second Step Social and Emotional Learning support materials and training, chosen following prior District workshops and standards cross-walks; the online platform addresses implementation barriers by reducing staff training burden and providing updated culturally responsive content.

The three contracts total $128,224.25. Public comments may be submitted to purchasing@4j.lane.edu by July 21, 2026.
