ROBOTICS ENGINEERING

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) serves the educational needs of the dependents of military and civilian employees by providing PK-12 instruction to approximately 76,000 students in seven states, twelve foreign countries, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The number of students varies based on the deployment of military troops worldwide. DoDEA’s curriculum, resources, and student achievement scores on standardized assessments compare favorably to high-performing US public schools.

1.2 DoDEA is divided into three administrative areas. DDESS (Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools) covers the schools in seven states and Puerto Rico, and for administrative purposes, Cuba. DoDDS (Department of Defense Dependent Schools) is divided into DoDDS-Europe, which spans nine European countries, and DoDDS-Pacific which includes four countries in the Pacific region. The former administers the schools in England, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and Bahrain. The latter covers the schools in Korea, Japan, and for administrative purposes, Guam. DoDEA also operates a fully accredited Virtual High School with its main office in Virginia and with teaching hubs in Germany and Okinawa.

1.3 DoDEA has adopted the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCR), whose curriculum standards are rigorous, research-based, and reflect the knowledge and skills our students need for success in college and careers.

2.0

BACKGROUND

2.1 DoDEA has a robotics engineering program in ten high schools, but is in the process of expanding it to all high schools. This initiative is part of DoDEA’s aim to provide the dependents of our military warfighters with cutting edge 21st century skills.

3.0

SCOPE

3.1 DoDEA requires robotic curriculum kits for its robotics engineering program at all high schools worldwide. In the base year and option years, DoDEA requires replacement parts for all 44 high schools.

3.2 DoDEA expects to award one requirement contracts for a base and five option years.

4.0

REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Kits: The Contractor shall provide replacement parts for kits that include the materials to construct the robot, control package, and control software with site license to operate the robot. The kits shall have the characteristics found in www.legoeducation.com and www.pitsco.com.

4.1.1 The following 12 components are required:

Qty

4.2 Curriculum: The Contractor shall provide instruction, manuals, and workbooks for a year-long high school level robotics engineering class.

4.3 Section 508 Compliance—Contractor resources shall meet the following requirements:

4.3.1 IT Requirement: All electronic hardware and software procured under this contract/purchase order must comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, (29 U.S.C. 794d) and the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Electronic Information Technology (EIT) Accessibility Standards (36 CFR part 1194). Further information is available via the Internet at http://www.section508.gov .

4.2.1 Section 508 Deliverable Requirements: The activity to be performed relates to or requires the use of Electronic and Information Technology (EIT). Section 508 must be considered as a requirement for the outputs/deliverables including functional performance, information, documentation, and support requirements under this acquisition to ensure that it considers specific Section 508 accessibility requirements. Further, the outputs/deliverables should not adversely affect accessibility features of existing EIT technologies. Standards from 36 CFR part 1194 Subpart B, C, and D have been determined to apply to this acquisition. Solicitation respondents must describe how their background and experience will enable them to at least meet those technical provisions identified as applicable in the Government Product/Service Accessibility Template (GPAT).

4.4 Optical Character Resolution: Any student texts or student supplemental materials shall be provided in an electronic Optical Character Resolution (OCR) format, or PDF format, that is compatible with common OCR readers (i.e., Kurzweil) to convert written text into audio format for student use at time of delivery of order issuance.

4.5 Upgrades: The Contractor shall (1) submit detailed information of system requirements for subsequent software upgrades for each option year to DoDEA HQ and (2) provide DoDEA HQ with complete copies of any upgrades for testing prior to dissemination to schools.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Software and Cloud Testing Requirements

5.1.1 All online resources, cloud-based services and instructional software shall meet Department of Defense and DoDEA Information Assurance requirements (as defined below). Software, cloud services and associated websites shall undergo comprehensive testing to ensure that they pose no security risk to the DoDEA infrastructure. Any IT component of the Contractor’s proposal that fails to meet DoDEA’s Information Assurance and Technology requirements will be excluded from further evaluation.

5.1.2 DoDEA Information Assurance Testing and Validation will include, but not be limited to, ensuring that the Contractor software solutions do not modify DoDEA’s underlying system security configuration and/or interfere with other installed software. Standard software will undergo pre- and post-installation scans on a clean computer image and over 70 other security and malware validation checks.

5.1.3 In accordance with Department of Defense policy, cloud-based services shall undergo a supplemental series of validations. These validations closely mirror the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Internet Cloud vetting processes and include interviews and deep system architecture inspections with the Contractor. Contractors shall be prepared to discuss underlying details of their environment in the following seven areas. Failure to provide this information when requested shall automatically exclude Contractors from further evaluation.
