Perfection Learning Corporation

City-funded organization

Perfection Learning Corporation is a family-owned educational publisher founded in 1926 in Logan, Iowa, per the company's own site, producing textbooks, trade books, and curriculum materials across subjects including literacy and language arts, science, social studies, and world languages. In New York City it holds three active Department of Education contracts worth $11.1 million combined for textbooks, ancillary materials, and educational software, most tagged "DOE pre-approved listing" or "Assignment"; its two largest historical DOE contracts, for trade book materials Class B ($10 million) and Class C ($7.5 million), both ended in 2019 and were won through "Competitive sealed bid." Overall, 46% of the $35.1 million in contract value the city has awarded Perfection Learning since 1999 ($16.3 million across eight contracts) came without a fresh competitive bid.
