Open Textbook Pilot Program Service

The government authority located in Washington, DC is seeking a vendor to provide an open textbook pilot program service. The agency aims to expand the use of high-quality, openly licensed textbooks that dramatically reduce costs for students. To solve this problem, the agency is looking to integrate Artificial Intelligence to accelerate the creation, adaptation, customization, and continuous improvement of open textbooks. The scope of work covers using Artificial Intelligence tools to support rigorous content development, improve accessibility, enable learning pathways, or facilitate efficient updates to keep materials current. Projects may adapt or contextualize the Great Books with Artificial Intelligence in ways that promote deep reading, critical inquiry, civil discourse, and education for democratic citizenship. This integration must address gaps in the open educational resources ecosystem by providing affordable, high-fidelity alternatives to current textbooks that are historically inaccurate and not grounded in the tradition of the Canon. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations only. The agency requires the performance of the work to be completed onsite. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget, and the source document does not specify evaluation criteria or key dates.
