This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) from the Houston Independent School District (HISD) for instructional curriculum materials, supplies, and digital resources. Vendors must be approved by HISD to be eligible for contract award. A preproposal conference will be held virtually on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. Questions must be submitted via the electronic bidding portal by July 31, 2026. Proposals are due by September 30, 2026. Vendors are required to submit various forms, including a Scope of Work, Standard Terms and Conditions, Execution of Offer, HUB Participation Report, Reference Survey, Texas Student Data Privacy Agreement, Certificate of Insurance, Certificate of Interested Parties (HB ****), W9, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, Pre-employment/Preservice Affidavit, Criminal History Background Check certification, Fingerprint Appointment Registration, General Questionnaire, and Price Schedule. Failure to provide required documentation, such as HUB participation documents, may lead to disqualification.
The bid notice does not explicitly state a delivery deadline for the goods or services. The tentative term of the project is from July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2028, with two automatic annual renewals.
The bid notice states that upon completion of the project evaluation process and verification of compliance with HISD's liability insurance requirements and minority/women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) program, one or more vendors will be recommended to the board of education for contract award.
The Houston Independent School District is interested in receiving proposals from qualified individuals and/or organizations (vendors) for the procurement of select goods and/or services. An HISD approved vendor is one that has been authorized for use upon having met a set of predetermined criteria through a formal procurement process and awarded a contract.
The question cut-off date is July 31, 2026.
Failure to provide the required HUB documentation will be considered noncompliant, and if a company is deemed noncompliant, it can lead to disqualification from the provision of goods and services to the district for current and/or future projects.
