Culturally Responsive Training Curriculum Development

The contract seeks the design and development of culturally responsive training modules specifically for Native American communities, with a strong emphasis on integrating Indigenous values, traditions, and principles of self-determination throughout every phase of the project—from planning and implementation to long-term sustainability. The curriculum must be developed in meaningful collaboration with Native communities to ensure cultural accuracy, relevance, and respect, avoiding generic or externally imposed frameworks. The focus is on building capacity within these communities by empowering them with tools and knowledge grounded in their own systems of governance, learning, and community well-being. This is a subcontract opportunity under NAICS code 611430, posted by the Administration for Children and Families under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Proposals are due by August 27, 2026, and while the place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, the work is expected to directly engage with Native American populations across the United States. The successful vendor will be expected to demonstrate prior experience in culturally grounded education initiatives and a clear methodology for community-driven design, ensuring that the training modules are not only educational but also act as instruments of sovereignty and community-led development.
