Staff Training Services for Beyond Textbook Program

The contract is for the development and delivery of comprehensive training programs aimed at school staff to effectively utilize the Beyond Textbook platform, with specific emphasis on instructional techniques and adherence to data privacy protocols. The services are being procured under a subcontract mechanism set aside exclusively for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises, reflecting a dedicated effort by the Indian Education Acquisition Office within the Department of the Interior to support indigenous small businesses. Training must be tailored to meet the needs of educational personnel working in environments governed by federal Indian education policies and must align with the technical capabilities and security requirements of the Beyond Textbook platform. The solicitation was posted on May 11, 2026, with a response deadline of May 18, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 611430, which pertains to other miscellaneous instructional services. The place of performance and point of contact information are not specified, indicating flexibility in delivery but requiring proposers to address logistical considerations for implementation across tribal or federally recognized school sites. The set-aside designation ensures that only qualified Indian-owned small businesses are eligible to compete for this opportunity, reinforcing federal commitments to economic development within Native communities while advancing educational technology adoption.
