How to bid on AP Psychology Instructional Resources for Cobb County Board of Education

What Cobb County is buying and why it matters

The Cobb County Board of Education is seeking information on print and digital instructional resources for Advanced Placement (AP) Psychology courses for students in grades 9 through 12. This Request for Information (RFI) will help the district identify potential materials for adoption in the 2027-2028 school year.

This is an opportunity for providers of educational materials to showcase their AP Psychology resources to a large school district. The information gathered will directly influence future purchasing decisions for the district's high school psychology programs.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This RFI was published on September 11, 2026. The deadline for submitting your information is October 02, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. All submissions must be received by this exact time.

The purpose of this RFI is to gather information, not to award a contract immediately. The district will review the submitted resources to inform a potential adoption for the 2027-2028 academic year. Late submissions may not be considered.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is ideal for educational publishers, curriculum developers, and content providers specializing in AP Psychology instructional materials. Firms that offer both print and digital resources, including core materials and Open Educational Resources (OER), are encouraged to respond.

Providers can submit resources for a single grade level or multiple grade levels. If your product line includes different sets of materials, each set should be submitted separately.

How to respond

To access the full documents and instructions for responding, you need to go to the Cobb County Bonfire portal. The Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR) posting for Event PE-63310-NONST-2027-000000231 provides the necessary link.

Once on the Bonfire portal, you will find the specific criteria and instructions for submitting your information. Ensure you follow all submission guidelines precisely before the stated deadline.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

Carefully review all the general criteria established by the district in the RFI documents. Tailor your submission to directly address these criteria, highlighting how your resources meet their specific needs for AP Psychology.

Clearly differentiate your product from others by emphasizing unique features, pedagogical approaches, and evidence of effectiveness. Since this is an RFI, focus on providing comprehensive and detailed information that showcases the value and suitability of your instructional materials for a high school AP Psychology program.

Organize your submission logically and make it easy for the reviewers to understand your offerings. If you are submitting multiple sets of materials, ensure each is clearly distinct and submitted as directed.
