RFI Open Educational Resources for Civics and Comparative Government Education

The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to collect details on open educational resources (OER) that can support the implementation of Alaska Senate Bill 23 and the 2024 Alaska Social Studies Standards. The agency seeks high‑quality, freely available curricula, instructional materials, assessments, and project‑based assessments for secondary‑level civics and comparative government education. Respondents must describe how each resource addresses the 14 statutory topics, provide licensing and accessibility information, and outline sustainability and support plans. Submissions are due by 5 PM AKST on 6 Nov 2026 and should be emailed to the procurement officer. No contract award is implied; the RFI is purely informational. • Target audience: publishers, nonprofits, schools, content developers with OER for K‑12 civics. • Required content: alignment with 14 civics topics, open‑license status, accessibility compliance, technical compatibility. • Deliverables: detailed resource descriptions, crosswalks to Alaska standards, licensing and sustainability plans. • Submission method: email to [email protected] by 11/06/2026. • No budget or award is indicated; the RFI will inform future statewide OER listings.
