Speech Language Pathology Services

Katy Independent School District (Katy ISD) is soliciting proposals for Speech Language Pathology Services through RFP #2339GG(A), seeking qualified Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs), SLP-Assistants, and Clinical Fellows to provide speech therapy services for school-aged students. The procurement will utilize the Request for Proposal method in accordance with Texas Education Code 44.031(a)(3), with the contract term spanning five years from July 15, 2024, through August 31, 2025, and potential annual renewals for up to four additional years. Vendors must possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in communication disorders, hold a valid Texas License in speech-language pathology, and have a Certificate of Clinical Competence. The evaluation criteria will assess purchase price (25 points), vendor reputation (20 points), quality of services (20 points), and other factors totaling 100 points. The solicitation was advertised on September 30 and October 7, 2025, with proposals due on October 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., addressing the district's need to address speech language pathologist shortages in the Houston area.

The procurement appears open to qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide proof of liability insurance, complete criminal background checks, and coordinate interviews with the district. Existing contractors under RFP 2339GG Speech Pathology Services (awarded July 1, 2024) are not required to respond to this solicitation. The district will provide necessary equipment, materials, and student access for therapy and evaluations. While no specific maximum hourly rate or total contract value is explicitly stated, Katy ISD anticipates making multiple awards to ensure appropriate service levels. Vendors must comply with comprehensive terms and conditions outlined in the district's documentation, including federal and state regulatory requirements, non-discrimination policies, and specific certifications related to boycotts, terrorist organizations, and energy companies.
