Third-Party Instructional Services

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida (SBSC) is seeking competitive sealed proposals from qualified professional agencies to provide third-party instructional services for students, staff, and families at eligible non-profit private schools participating in federal education program equitable services. The procurement focuses on comprehensive instructional support across multiple federal program areas, including Title I, Part A (supplemental instructional services), Title II, Part A (staff development), and Title IV, Part A (student support and academic enrichment). Required services include student tutoring, diagnostic assessments, academic counseling, professional learning opportunities, parent engagement activities, and progress monitoring for eligible students. Proposers must submit detailed documentation demonstrating personnel experience, implementation methodologies, curriculum approaches, and progress monitoring capabilities. The evaluation process will score proposals across six weighted criteria: experience of personnel (10%), approach and methodology (20%), adherence to standards (10%), evaluation and reporting (20%), references (15%), and fee schedule (25%). Key dates include a voluntary pre-solicitation meeting on May 22, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. EST via WebEx, with proposals due on June 5, 2025, by 1:00 P.M. EST through the VendorLink portal. The anticipated contract award is scheduled for August 19, 2025, with an initial three-year contract term and potential two-year renewal option.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract appears open to professional agencies capable of delivering comprehensive instructional services, with no apparent limitations on vendor type. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract includes detailed requirements for service delivery, including mandatory insurance coverage such as commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability insurance. The fee schedule provides a framework for billing instructional services on an hourly rate basis, with specific pricing for direct student service time, planning, lesson preparation, materials, curriculum development, technology, reporting, and assessments. Workshop and professional development engagements have designated pricing, with full-day (up to 8 hours) and half-day (up to 4 hours) rates specified. The total contract value and specific budget range are not explicitly stated, but the document indicates payments will follow the Local Government Prompt Payment Act and be subject to a not-to-exceed amount. Proposers must demonstrate financial stability and the capacity to deliver comprehensive, secular, and neutral instructional support services across multiple educational program areas.
