Science Instructional Materials Adoption (RFI 27-006-093)

Fayette County Public Schools (FCPS) in Georgia has issued RFI 27-006-093 for standards-aligned science instructional materials for three middle and high school courses, with an online informational session on November 16, 2026 from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. ET and responses due December 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET. This is an information-gathering request, not a bid, and the RFI does not guarantee any purchase or selection for a future RFP. No set-aside or preference program applies.

The RFI covers print textbooks, supporting digital resources, assessments, and implementation services for 6th Grade Earth Science, 7th Grade Life Science, and High School Environmental Science. Respondents may submit for one or more courses. Minimum sample quantities per course are five copies of each student textbook, two copies of each teacher edition, and one copy of each supporting print resource, plus multi-user digital access through May 31, 2027. Sample print materials and digital access must be delivered by December 14, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET. Pricing must be submitted in line-item format, separately identifying initial print purchases, replacement copies, teacher materials, supplemental resources, consumables, digital access or subscription renewals, and professional learning or implementation services. Multi-year pricing options, recurring fees, and additional costs must be explained clearly.

The District serves approximately 19,000 to 20,000 students across 24 schools. It may conduct classroom pilots, request demonstrations, and require post-response interviews or presentations at its sole discretion. The District anticipates an initial review in Winter 2027, teacher review in Spring 2027, possible pilots from Fall 2027 through Winter 2028, final selections and board submission in Spring 2028, and implementation in Fall 2028.

All responses and resulting contracts are subject to the Georgia Open Records Act. Respondents claiming trade secrets must submit an affidavit under O.C.G.A. 10-1-761.
