QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

DLNSEO Psychometric Support

Q1: Can the Government provide course master schedules for the DLNSEO courses requiring test development support including number of tests and test items the contractor will be analyzing?

A1: DLIFLC has the capacity to develop 8 to 10 new DLPTs every year. However, for the next two fiscal years, DLIFLC plans to develop and release 4 to 5 DLPTs per year. The minimum item bank size per skill (listening and reading) for lower range DLPT 5 development is approximately 180 to 240 items distributed across ILR levels 1 through 3. DLIFLC has seven psychometricians on staff and they will do the vast majority of this work. Contractor support will review their work and provide technical expertise where questions arise.

Q2: Can the Government provide quantitative metrics related to the size of the current CAT ECL pool of questions?

A2: The CAT ECL currently maintains a pool of 7,200 items in 9 item banks.

Q3: Can the Government provide quantitative metrics related to the number of multiple choice items currently employed or anticipated for the DLPTs?

A3: DLIFLC currently has approximately 52,000 items in its operational database, with tens of thousands more in development.

Q4: Can the Government verify that place of performance is contractor site?

A4: The place of performance is the contractor site.

Q5: Is this a new requirement? If not, is this contract similar in scope to the prior contract and what was the total contract value?

A5: No. This contract is similar in scope to the expiring contract. The expiring contract information is as follows:
