Francis Howell R-III School District in St. Charles County, Missouri is accepting proposals from qualified vendors for a new High School Health Curriculum serving grades 9-12. The District issued the RFP on September 8, 2026. Proposals are due September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST. Bidder questions are due September 16, 2026, with District responses scheduled for September 18. The public solicitation does not state a contract value, award ceiling, or separate solicitation number.
The required core scope includes 315 student physical textbooks, 9 teacher-edition textbooks, 500 rolling digital licenses, and a no-cost trial program. The RFP states that instructional materials must not include human sexuality. FHSD may also favor digital platform access, student-facing resources, progress monitoring, needs assessments, reporting, professional development, translation, accessibility features, and integration with existing District systems. Print materials must be NIMAC-compliant, and digital instructional materials, applications, and platforms must satisfy the RFP’s WCAG 2.1 Level AA and ADA ICT accessibility requirements.
Phase 1 proposals must include pricing, expected annual renewals or consumables where applicable, delivery terms and schedule, warranty or satisfaction-guarantee information, accessibility/NIMAC documentation, a completed Certification Form, officer-signed Letter of Transmittal, Executive Summary, scope response, costs and fees, Company Identification, References and Experience forms, Federal Work Authorization/E-Verify materials, and Felony Conviction Notification. The RFP requires at least five current references using similar services and asks for Missouri school-district experience, including at least one current district of similar size and population to FHSD, plus disclosure of public-school clients discontinued for poor or non-performance in the prior five years.
Submission may be made electronically to Purchasing Manager Matthew Bollwerk at matthew.bollwerk@fhsdschools.org or by mail/in person to Francis Howell R-III School District, 801 Corporate Centre Drive, O’Fallon, MO 63368. Selected vendors may be invited to present on November 3, 2026 and later provide sample curriculum for a classroom pilot at no cost to the District. The District may request a Best and Final Offer before Board of Education approval. Teacher materials are targeted for delivery by April 1, 2027, with student materials between July 1 and August 1, 2027. FHSD’s public procurement page also directs prospective vendors to complete its Vendor Registration Form.
Document-control note: the District’s publicly linked High School PDF has a cover and certification-page heading that incorrectly says “Middle School Health Curriculum,” but its certification text, proposal label, project overview, grades 9-12 scope, textbook quantities and digital-license requirements expressly identify this as the High School solicitation. Atlas treats the District’s open-bid listing together with the internal High School scope as controlling and flags the cover-label inconsistency for vendor attention.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 64/100. N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare/other Dr. Miltie Fit: 0/100. This is a legitimate Missouri school-health procurement, but the required deliverable is curriculum/textbook and digital instructional content rather than remote physical-examination technology or clinical services. Dr. Miltie, LLC should not be represented as a qualified direct respondent unless it can independently document the required curriculum offering, accessibility compliance, digital-license capability, implementation support, and qualifying reference history. Available lane records do not currently establish those qualifications, so no direct-bid pursuit or outreach is advanced.
General terms include insurance, E-Verify and other compliance provisions, with certain construction/public-works clauses applying only to the extent legally applicable. Vendors should rely on the complete District RFP and any later written addenda for controlling requirements.
