School Readiness Preschool Curriculum

Davis School District in Utah is seeking competitive proposals for a High Quality Preschool Curriculum through RFP KH25-015, targeting evidence-based curriculum materials for children ages 3-5. The procurement aims to acquire comprehensive curriculum resources including research-based materials, daily lesson plans across eight subject areas (Literacy, Fine Arts, Health Education, Lifelong Learning, Mathematics, Physical Education, Science, and Social Studies), books, manipulatives, digital learning resources, and benchmark and formative assessments. The evaluation process is multi-staged with a technical proposal review weighted across format, use, and content criteria totaling 215 possible points, requiring vendors to score a minimum of 150 points (70%) to advance to the cost evaluation stage. Proposals are due on April 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with an anticipated contract execution in May 2025 and a five-year contract term expiring on June 30, 2030. The technical evaluation will assess vendors on Format (30 points), Use (35 points), and Content (25 points), with a cost proposal component allowing for a maximum of 50 additional points based on competitive pricing.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with Utah state regulations, including certifications that they are not engaged in economic boycotts and are complying with Utah Code 63G-27-102, which includes provisions about not boycotting the State of Israel or companies in specific sectors. The contract allows for multiple awards and will be formatted with per-student-per-year and per-teacher fee schedules. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the district reserves the right to cancel contracts with 30 days' notice and to incorporate additional learning resources into resulting contracts without re-initiating the RFP process. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, with a minimum of $1,000,000 per incident and $3,000,000 in aggregate, and be prepared to meet stringent ethical and professional standards outlined in the district's contract terms and conditions.
