SEL curriculum

The Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a High School Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) Curriculum for grades 9-12. WCPSS is seeking bids from organizations that can provide a research-based, teacher-informed, and classroom-tested SEL curriculum that promotes the social-emotional development, safety, and well-being of students. The curriculum must be mainly web-based, responsive to current needs, and easy for school counselors and teachers to implement with little to no training required. Bidders must demonstrate successful implementation of their SEL programs in large urban public school districts. The contract will be awarded for a 1-year term, with an option to renew for 2 additional 1-year terms. Pricing should be provided as a schoolwide license per high school. WCPSS reserves the right to make the award to a single overall bidder or to multiple vendors, whichever is deemed most advantageous. The evaluation will consider pricing, quality of service, vendor experience and references, conformity to specifications, alignment with CASEL competencies and accessibility, and ease of use for school staff.

This contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The IFB also does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range for this contract is not specified in the available information.
