Advanced Mathematics Step 1

Seattle Public Schools is soliciting proposals under RFP260601 for new print and digital instructional materials to support advanced mathematics courses, including Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics. The district seeks to replace materials last adopted in 2008 for approximately 4,300 students. The procurement includes student and teacher materials, professional development services, and ongoing implementation support for the first three years. Proposals must be submitted via Bid Locker by October 20, 2026, and include a mandatory Proposal Certification Form, a technical questionnaire, a pricing form covering a five-year cost structure, and a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template to ensure WCAG compliance. The evaluation process is a two-step approach where materials must first pass an anti-bias screener and a technology services review before being scored on a 100-point scale. Key scoring categories include content alignment, support for diverse learners, instructional planning, assessment systems, and cultural responsiveness. The top two or three materials will proceed to a field-test phase. Awarded contractors must maintain a Washington State Business License, adhere to strict student data privacy agreements compliant with FERPA and COPPA, and provide annual teacher training every August and September. Delivery is set as FOB Seattle Warehouse with payment terms of Net 30 days.
