Curriculum Development, Learning Experience Production Support and Technology Food Systems

The agency is seeking a vendor to provide curriculum development, learning experience production support, and technology food systems. The project aims to solve the need for a competency-based agency and Food Systems pathway that stacks directly onto the Applied Agriculture Systems Certificate. The scope of work covers designing the pathway as a sequence of modular, stackable credentials that build toward an Associate of Science degree, as well as developing the curricular architecture for future expansion into a four-year baccalaureate pathway. The selected vendor must develop competency frameworks, course outlines, assessment structures, and one complete Canvas-ready learning management system course shell per course in the required crosswalk. The agency requires English and Spanish versions of all student-facing materials with equivalent quality and instructional intent. The scope also includes preparing curriculum documentation, Course Outlines of Record, pathway maps, and California Community Colleges Curriculum Inventory-ready materials for local and state review. The agency is building this pathway above the general education layer, meaning this project does not include the development of general education courses. The vendor must package all deliverables so agency consortium colleges and other authorized institutions can adopt or adapt the pathway without rebuilding it from scratch. The contract period will span one year, and the agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost. Bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency has not specified explicit evaluation criteria in the source material but requires all proposals to address the outlined deliverables. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 1, 2026.
