Edgecombe County Public Schools is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB #180-02172025) for a comprehensive secondary curriculum procurement covering English/Language Arts and Math for middle and high school levels. The solicitation seeks curriculum and platform solutions for grades 6-8 English/Language Arts, 6-8 Math, 9-10 English/Language Arts, and 9-11 Math, targeting a student population of approximately 3,990 students across these grade levels. Required deliverables include online curriculum components with capabilities for both in-person and remote delivery, universal screener/diagnostic assessments, teacher professional development resources, single sign-on functionality, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. The curriculum must align with North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Evaluation criteria will be weighted across several key dimensions: alignment to NCSCOS (25 points), professional development and implementation support (25 points), diagnostic assessment capabilities (15 points), online and in-person compatibility (10 points), and pricing (25 points). Critical dates include a bid opening on March 10, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET, with vendor questions due by February 27, 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The solicitation allows for potential multiple awards based on evaluation scores and grade-level needs, with the top three vendors invited to provide 30-minute in-person or virtual demonstrations. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, vendors must provide comprehensive pricing breakdowns including student print materials, online platform access, teacher materials, professional development, shipping, and taxes, with options for 1-3 year contract terms. Payment terms are established at net 30 days, and potential funding may involve federal grants requiring vendor certification of non-debarment status. The procurement appears to be structured to accommodate comprehensive curriculum solutions that can be tailored to the district's specific educational technology and instructional delivery requirements, with an emphasis on flexible, technology-enabled learning platforms that support diverse instructional modalities.
