RFP for speech language pathology services

A Texas state or local education agency is requesting proposals for speech-language pathology services, with proposals due August 20, 2026.

The scope includes direct services to students with identified speech and language disorders — assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapeutic intervention — as well as individualized education program (IEP) development and implementation, consultation with teachers and families, and documentation of student progress. Vendors must hold state licensure as a speech-language pathologist and relevant certifications. The RFP establishes minimum staffing levels or service hour requirements to ensure adequate coverage for the student population.

The contract term is one school year with potential renewal options for additional years contingent upon performance and continued funding availability. Funding derives from the school district's special education budget allocation or state and federal special education grants. Pricing is determined through competitive bidding; vendors submit detailed cost proposals for services rendered.

The RFP may include set-asides for small businesses or disadvantaged vendors in accordance with Texas procurement preferences. Current service providers may be considered for re-award if they meet performance standards and submit competitive proposals. Award is anticipated following the evaluation period.
