Deadline: November 30, 2028 at 11:00 AM EST, as reported by current Rhode Island Division of Purchases source feeds. Vendors should confirm the live controlling time, documents, and any amendments in Ocean State Procures before submission.
Purpose: RIDE is maintaining a statewide pool of qualified providers of curriculum-based professional learning for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. The procurement supports implementation of high-quality curriculum materials across educational settings and seeks providers able to strengthen instructional practice and equitable student outcomes.
Eligibility and vendor requirements: Qualified vendors with demonstrated expertise and experience delivering curriculum-based professional learning. Current solicitation materials require electronic submission through Ocean State Procures, a completed MBE Participation Acknowledgment, the applicable technical proposal and vendor certification materials, and required insurance. Current procurement records identify liability, workers compensation, and automobile liability coverage requirements. RIDE’s approved-vendor guide describes provider expectations including alignment with Rhode Island professional learning standards, HQCM competencies, professional learning offerings, customization with LEAs, and support for diverse learners.
Funding / contract value: No universal contract ceiling or guaranteed spend is published. This is an open-enrollment Master Price Agreement procurement, not a grant, and services are ordered as needed by participating education entities.
Submission mechanics: Responses must be submitted electronically through Ocean State Procures. Emailed, mailed, faxed, hand-delivered, or misdirected responses are not accepted. The listed purchasing contact is Bridgette DuBois, Rhode Island Division of Purchases, Bridgette.DuBois@purchasing.ri.gov, 401-574-8466.
Atlas assessment: Atlas Opportunity Score 74/100. School and education relevance 84/100. Nonagon N9+ Fit Score 0/100. QC Healthcare fit 0/100. This is legitimate Rhode Island education procurement intelligence, but Atlas does not identify a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare and is not advancing a Dr. Miltie direct-vendor response.
