Library Media and Digital Resources and Services

The Plano Independent School District in Plano, Texas, is seeking library media and digital resources and services to support its educational programs. The agency needs digital and e-book collections, including platforms with simultaneous or metered access licensing options suitable for school district use. These collections must feature audiobook formats and read-alongs that support emerging readers and students with disabilities, while integrating seamlessly with district single sign-on authentication systems. The agency also requires digital databases and online reference resources that provide differentiated reading levels within the same article to accommodate varied student reading abilities. These databases must offer primary source documents, newspaper archives, and multimedia content to enrich the curriculum. Additionally, the agency is requesting curriculum-aligned streaming video and multimedia educational content covering science, social studies, language arts, health, career and technical education, and fine arts. All video content must include closed captioning to meet accessibility requirements and must come with teacher resource guides and lesson plan integrations. To ensure seamless classroom integration, the requested resources and curriculum supplements must be compatible with learning management systems. The agency requires interoperability with Learning Tools Interoperability standards to support roster syncing and grade passback, with all resources formatted for embedding or linking within the district learning management system environment. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity, and all contracted work will be performed offsite. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this initiative. The resulting contract will cover a performance period of one year. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this procurement no later than June 24, 2026. Final responses can be submitted digitally to the agency via email or through their online portal.
