Submissions are accepted only from professional-learning providers.

Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 82/100. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100. This is a statewide education provider-qualification opportunity for evidence-based K-5 literacy professional learning. It does not fund or procure healthcare, telehealth, remote patient monitoring, remote physical examination technology, or clinical devices, so there is no defensible N9+ commercial path.
Expired. The Michigan Department of Education accepted qualified-provider submissions for evidence-based K-5 literacy professional learning under Public Act 26 of 2026 through September 9, 2026 at 12:00 noon EST. The official RFS states that submissions received after that deadline will not be considered.
Submissions were accepted only from providers and required the MDE Provider Self-Evaluation and Evidence Rubric, supporting evidence, and a shared Google folder with reviewer access to the cited materials. MDE will approve at least two providers annually. Approved professional learning will be publicly posted for school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies to consider.
Approval is for provider qualification and does not guarantee a contract or agreement with the state or with districts. The RFS did not establish a fixed grant award, contract value, or guaranteed purchase.
