Instructional and Business Based Co-Curricula and Curricula Professional Services

United Independent School District is establishing a pre-qualified pool of independent contractors to provide instructional and business-based co-curricula and curricula professional services. The scope includes a variety of roles such as motivational speakers, trainers, coaches, mentors, and consultants across four primary categories: instructional, business, co-curricular, and other related services. This is an unsealed, continuous bid process where proposals are accepted at any time but reviewed and submitted for board approval on a quarterly basis. The resulting contracts are performance-based agreements with a term of 36 months, anticipated to run through August 31, 2028. Selection is based on a pass/fail evaluation of submittal completeness, demonstrated intent to meet district needs, pricing, and the provision of three recommendation letters. Awarding follows a logic similar to Lowest Price Technically Acceptable, where the district may select the lowest-priced offer among those that meet all technical and compliance requirements. Vendors must adhere to strict insurance mandates, including naming the district as an additional insured, and personnel with direct student contact must undergo mandatory fingerprinting and national criminal history background checks. Required documentation for submission includes a W9, Form 1295, conflict of interest questionnaires, and EDGAR certifications. All goods are handled under F.O.B. Destination terms, and payments are processed via ACH within 30 days of invoice receipt.
