RFP - Math K-5 Curriculum

The Wasatch County School District (WCSD) in Utah has issued a Request for Proposals to procure an elementary K-5 mathematics curriculum aligned with Utah Core Standards. The procurement seeks a comprehensive instructional resource from qualified publishers and curriculum providers that includes student materials for grades K-5, teacher materials with lesson guidance and planning supports, print and digital components, assessments and progress-monitoring tools, differentiation and intervention resources, professional learning for teachers and administrators, implementation support, and Spanish-language materials to serve approximately 3,200 K-5 students across six schools, including an online school and Spanish Dual Language Immersion settings. The curriculum must support conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, mathematical reasoning, and coherent learning progressions across all grade levels. WCSD plans a phased implementation approach with pilot testing during the 2026-2027 school year across two grade levels at each school site, followed by broader implementation in 2027-2028. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: instructional quality with standards alignment and curriculum quality (35 percent), instructional design and usability (20 percent), assessment and data use (20 percent), implementation and training (10 percent), vendor qualifications and references (5 percent), and cost (10 percent). Key deadlines include a questions deadline of April 23, 2026, by 2:00 PM MST, proposal submission due April 27, 2026, by 2:00 PM MST, an evaluation period running April 27 through May 8, 2026, potential demonstrations or presentations scheduled for May 18-22, 2026, and anticipated Board approval by May 26, 2026.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular organization types or disadvantaged enterprises based on the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. Proposers must submit separate pricing proposals and narrative materials, with pricing representing 10 percent of the total evaluation weight, and must provide pricing for both pilot implementation during 2026-2027 and projected pricing for broader rollout in the following school year with options for three-year and five-year contract terms. Pricing must be clearly identified by grade level, school, student, teacher, or license structure, with separate identification of print materials, digital licenses, professional learning costs, implementation support costs, and optional or supplemental costs. All pricing must be guaranteed for the contract term duration, and if the successful proposer offers lower pricing to another school district during the contract term, WCSD must receive the benefit of that pricing. The contract is terminable by WCSD at the end of any contract year upon 30 days' written notice and may be extended for additional years by mutual written agreement.
