RFI - 6-12 Social Studies Curriculum Resources

Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) issued Request for Information (RFI) 128632 on September 21, 2026, to explore secondary social studies curricular resources for grades 6 through 12. The primary objective is to identify high-quality instructional materials that align with the 2023 Virginia History and Social Science Standards of Learning and the ACPS Deeper Learning Framework, specifically fostering attributes such as critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation. This process is intended for information and planning purposes to help ACPS define requirements for a potential future competitive solicitation; it is not a formal procurement, does not guarantee a contract award, and provides no preference to participating suppliers in future bids. Interested providers must submit their responses electronically through eVA by October 9, 2026, at 1:00 pm Eastern Time. Required submissions include program overviews, standards alignment documentation, pricing information, digital trial credentials, and three professional references from the last five years. Additionally, respondents must provide a Tax Identification number and a mandatory Virginia State Corporation Commission identification number to verify their authorization to conduct business within the Commonwealth of Virginia. The review process will be conducted by ACPS educators, instructional coaches, and leadership to evaluate content, functionality, and implementation considerations.
