Provo City School District - Social Studies Curriculum Adoption

Provo City School District is soliciting proposals under solicitation PCSD10072026 for the adoption of research-based Social Studies curricula for grades 4 through 12. The scope includes materials for 13 elementary schools (grades 4-6), two middle schools (7th grade Utah Studies and 8th grade US History 1), and three high schools (9th grade Geography, 10th grade World History, 11th grade US History 2, and 12th grade Government and Citizenship). All materials must align with the Utah Board of Education Core Standards and be available for purchase through the Mountain State Schoolbook Depository, as the District intends to issue all purchase orders directly to the depository. The resulting contract will be for an initial term of two to three years, with potential renewals for a total period not to exceed seven years, and all pricing must be guaranteed for the entire term. The procurement process utilizes a three-stage evaluation consisting of an initial responsiveness review, a technical evaluation based on alignment with state standards, instructional design, and support services, and a final independent cost evaluation. Award will be made to the vendor determined to be the most advantageous to the District. Proposals must be submitted via the Euna/Bonfire portal by October 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM MST, and must be divided into separate technical and cost volumes. The contract is governed by Utah state law and requires compliance with various federal and state non-discrimination laws, E-verify employment verification, and FERPA student data protection standards. All deliveries are F.O.B. destination, and the District maintains a 30-day inspection period upon receipt of goods or services.
