Environmental Science Curriculum Adoption

Mesa Public Schools is soliciting proposals for the adoption of an Environmental Science curriculum designed to ensure students are college, career, and community ready. The district seeks a program featuring scientifically accurate content supported by credible sources and authentic datasets, providing students with opportunities for data collection, evidence-based reasoning, and collaborative discourse. The selected provider must also supply comprehensive teacher support, including pacing, lesson, and assessment guidance. All digital solutions must adhere to the district's technology requirements and standards, as failure to comply may result in a proposal being deemed nonresponsive. The solicitation was posted on October 23, 2026, with a response deadline of November 10, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the district's public portal and include an Offer and Acceptance form, a W-9, and a Certificate of Insurance. The district is requesting both 5-year and 7-year pricing options, with final delivery of products required by June 30, 2027. Award decisions will be based on the most advantageous proposal, considering responsibility, responsiveness, and technology compliance. Contractors must meet stringent insurance requirements, including Commercial General Liability of 2 million dollars aggregate and Professional/Tech E&O of 1 million dollars per claim. The agreement includes strict adherence to data privacy laws such as FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR, as well as compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and the Buy American Provision. Payment terms are net thirty days following the delivery of goods and services, with invoices submitted to the district's Accounts Payable Department in Mesa, Arizona.
