Description
Los Angeles Unified School District is seeking to create a pre‑qualified “shortlist” of firms capable of delivering K‑12 arts‑education services across five disciplines (dance, music, theatre, visual arts, media arts/film). The district will later award contracts—directly or competitively—to one or more shortlisted firms for program design, instruction, materials, and related services that align with California Arts Standards and serve the diverse student body. Firms must demonstrate at least three years of public‑school experience, have teaching artists with five+ years’ experience, provide insurance, background‑check, and TB clearance, and agree to a 1 % sales rebate and a 1.5 % annual cost‑saving target. Submissions are electronic via Ariba Discovery, and the shortlist remains valid for up to five years.
• Provide K‑12 arts programs (residencies, workshops, master‑classes, performances, exhibitions) in any of the five listed disciplines.
• Must include qualified teaching artists, LAUSD‑credentialed teacher of record, and all necessary supplies/equipment.
• Required deliverables: quarterly student‑engagement counts, an annual impact report, and an electronic catalog compatible with Ariba PunchOut.
• Mandatory documentation: Statement of Qualifications, insurance certificate, background‑check, TB clearance, and rebate commitment.
• Pre‑bid conference (Mar 3) optional; questions due Mar 9; SOQ deadline Mar 19.
