Purchase Order HE125424P3001

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Mackin Book Company, a woman-owned small business based in Burnsville, Minnesota, for implementation of an integrated library system. The contract, valued at $3.58 million with an ultimate completion date of June 2, 2034, will be performed in Alexandria, Virginia. The award represents DoDEA's effort to deploy a cloud-hosted solution providing software licenses, professional learning services, maintenance, and technical support to manage library functions across its 160 global school locations serving military-connected students. No small business set-aside was utilized for this procurement. Mackin Book Company will serve as the prime contractor with no identified subcontractors, consistent with its established role as a direct fulfillment vendor.

This award builds upon Mackin's existing single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with DoDEA, originally awarded on August 30, 2021, with a ceiling value of $21.7 million. The company has demonstrated extensive federal experience supplying educational materials, library resources, and specialized services to DoDEA schools across Europe, the Pacific region, the Middle East, and other locations. The integrated library system implementation represents an expansion of Mackin's service offerings beyond traditional book and educational materials procurement, positioning the vendor to support DoDEA's mission of providing educational continuity for military families through comprehensive digital library infrastructure and technical support capabilities.
