Three separate awards are anticipated across three correctional facilities, and an Alaska Bidder Preference of 10% applies to offerors holding a valid Alaska business license prior to the proposal deadline.
The scope spans instruction in foundational literacy, mathematics, and GED preparation at three locations: Anchorage Correctional Center (eight hours per week, 384 hours annually); Fairbanks Correctional Center (eight hours per week, 384 hours annually); and Anvil Mountain Correctional Center (six hours per week, 288 hours annually). Instruction will be delivered through one-on-one and small group sessions supplemented by the Essential Education learning management system. Up to 20 percent of contracted hours may be allocated to administrative duties including data entry and lesson planning. Instructional hours are limited to 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Saturday; no instruction occurs on Sundays or state/federal holidays.

All personnel must pass Department of Corrections background investigations and security clearances prior to beginning work. No subcontractors or joint ventures are permitted.

Offerors must register with Benjamin Baker at benjamin.baker@alaska.gov to receive amendments and be added to the vendor list.
