PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Grades 6-12 Suicide Prevention Instructional Resources

1. General Information and Scope of Work

1.1 Agency

1.1.1 For school year (SY) 2024-25, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) will provide PK-12 instruction in 161 schools to over 67,000 dependents of military and civilian employees.

Student enrollment is based primarily on deployment of military troops worldwide. In the Americas, DoDEA operates 50 schools located in seven states, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. In Europe and the Middle East, DoDEA operates 64 schools located in Germany, England, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Turkey, Bahrain, and Italy. In the Pacific, DoDEA operates 46 schools located in Korea, Japan (mainland and Okinawa), and Guam. DoDEA also operates a fully accredited virtual high school with a teaching hub in each region: Americas, Europe, and Pacific. DoDEA's curriculum, resources and student achievement scores on standardized assessments compare favorably to those of high-performing US public school systems.

1.1.2 DoDEA schools have many grade configurations, including PK-2, PK-6, and 6-12. Forty of our 160 brick-and-mortar schools have grades 9-12; 58 of them have at least one of the grades 6-8.

Total 26,975 8 4,225 11 3,075

1.1.3 Military-connected students experience high mobility rates across the nation and throughout the world. Consequently, DoDEA makes a concerted effort to establish a worldwide systemic education network, mitigating the transitional barriers to military-connected students’ success.

1.1.4 DoDEA has adopted College and Career Ready Standards (CCRS) in mathematics, literacy, the arts, social studies, and science, which are rigorous, research-based, and reflect the knowledge, skills and dispositions students need for success in college and/or careers and are aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), National Core Art Standards (NCAS), Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards, and Society for Health and Physical Education Standards (SHAPE AMERICA). DoDEA has also adopted the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students.

1.2 Background

1.2.1 The American Association of Suicidology identifies suicide as the third leading cause of death among young people.

1.2.2 Per DoD Directive 6490.14 (effective June 18 2013) DoD policy is for agencies to make substantial efforts to reduce suicide, identify members who are at risk for suicide, evaluate the effectiveness of suicide prevention programs, and provide training on suicide prevention. The Directive requires agencies to foster a climate that (1) encourages individuals to seek help and build resilience, (2) reduces the stigma for seeking behavioral healthcare, and (3) protects the privacy of individuals seeking treatment related to suicide. The Directive also requires DoDEA to… provide suicide prevention training in DoDEA schools and submit a copy of all training curriculum and materials to the Director of DSPO [Defense Suicide Prevention Office]. In addition, DoDEA is instructed to …submit the number of suicide attempts and suicides by DoDEA students in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Self Directed Violence Surveillance Uniform Definitions and Recommended Data Elements. This directive has been complemented by DoDEA Administrative Instruction, 5200.1, Student Threat and Suicide Risk Assessment Program, which requires DoDEA to assess student threats towards self or others and to take appropriate steps to ensure the student’s safety.

1.2.3 DoDEA’s suicide prevention program is aligned to the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, which was developed by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance). The Action Alliance at the Education Development Center (EDC) is supported by a grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services. For additional information, see the following URL:

https://theactionalliance.org/our-strategy/national-strategy-suicide-prevention.

1.2.4 According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, children of deployed military personnel have more school, family, and peer-related emotional difficulties, compared to national samples. Cumulative lengths of deployments are also linked to emotional difficulties among military children.

1.3 Scope of Work

1.3.1 For school counselors, school psychologists, and school nurses, DoDEA requires (1) systemic student suicide prevention curriculum for grades 6-12 students that is planned, sequential, and can be delivered as a stand-alone classroom lesson, (2) print and/or digital sets of instructional resources for each grade or for grade bands, and (3) related virtual professional learning.

1.3.2 DoDEA expects to award 1-2 firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contracts for a base period of five years. If two contracts are awarded, DoDEA expects one to be for grades 6-8 and one for grades 9-12.

1.3.3 Table 2 shows the estimated number of sets of curriculum resources required in each ordering period of the 60-month contract. Print materials in Base Years 2-5 are for replacement & replenishment.

Note: DoDEA has no preference between a print-and-digital solution and a digital only solution.

** DoDEA expects to have the same number each year.
