Open Textbook Pilot Program Service

The government authority located in Washington, DC is seeking a vendor to provide open textbook pilot program services. The agency aims to expand the use of high-quality, openly licensed textbooks that dramatically reduce costs for students. This initiative addresses 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. The scope of work requires the integration of Artificial Intelligence to accelerate the creation, adaptation, customization, and continuous improvement of open textbooks. These AI tools must 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 AI in ways that promote deep reading, critical inquiry, civil discourse, and education for democratic citizenship. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted onsite. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget, and the source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or key dates.
