Utah Chinese DLI Curriculum Cooperative

The Alpine School District, in collaboration with the Utah Chinese Dual Language Immersion Program, is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide a comprehensive Chinese language curriculum tailored for students in Grades 1-9. The curriculum must include a digital platform capable of supporting project-based instruction, assessment aligned with the redesigned AP Chinese Language and Culture Exam, and adherence to ACTFL proficiency standards. The primary objective is to enhance student language proficiency, promote real-world communication skills, facilitate data-driven instruction, and develop cultural competency across participating schools in Utah. The procurement aims to select a single responsive vendor based on scoring criteria, with the initial contract set to begin on September 1, 2025, and conclude by May 30, 2026. The agreement may be renewed annually for up to four additional years, with potential extension until 2030, and the vendor must guarantee pricing for at least one year. The contract, valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000, is part of a cooperative effort to improve Chinese language education through innovative digital solutions. It is a solicitation issued by the Alpine School District, with a response deadline of August 26, 2025. The initiative emphasizes selecting a transformative platform that aligns with educational standards and supports Utah's dual language immersion goals, ultimately aiming to foster greater language proficiency and cultural understanding among students across the state.
