PreK-12 Tier 1 OER Sources Content, PreK-12 Tier 1 OER Custom Built Materials, and PreK-12 Tier 1 Continuous Improvement of OER Developed Core and Supplemental

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is seeking qualified contractors for three distinct but related Open Educational Resources (OER) initiatives covering Pre‑K through 12th grade. Project 1 requires vendors that already possess high‑quality, grade‑appropriate instructional content that can be licensed, sourced, and customized for Texas Social Studies standards. Project 2 calls for the creation of new, custom‑built Tier 1 OER materials (especially in Positive Character Traits) in both English and Spanish, with all deliverables owned by TEA. Project 3 establishes a pool of contractors to provide ongoing revision, versioning, and rapid‑cycle improvement services for existing Tier 1 OER materials, with work assigned on an as‑needed basis. The contract term is five state fiscal years (with a possible two‑year extension), and the total anticipated procurement value is approximately $20 million. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in curriculum development, standards alignment (TEKS, ELPS), accessibility, and project management, and must be able to deliver under aggressive timelines. • Three separate award opportunities (existing content licensing, custom material development, and continuous‑improvement services). • Scope covers all core subjects, with a focus on Social Studies and Positive Character Traits. • Deliverables include licensed content, new instructional units, bilingual materials, and ongoing revision services. • Contract length: 5 years (option to extend 2 years). • Estimated total budget: $20 M; individual award amounts will vary. • Mandatory pre‑proposal meeting on 10/16/2026 (online). • Questions due by 10/23/2026; final responses due 11/13/2026.
