STATEMENT OF WORK

Summer Online High School Courses

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 85,000 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 and DoDDS-Pacific. 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.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 Since the summer of 2004, DoDEA has provided selected high school students with the opportunity to take online summer high school courses for credit.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The significant evaluation factors are Technical, Past Performance, and Price. Technical and Past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Factor 1: Technical Capability. Proposals will be evaluated on overall quality and how well the offeror demonstrates its ability to perform the requirements set forth in the statement of work.

Factor 2: Past Performance. Offeror’s Past Performance will be evaluated to determine the likelihood of offeror’s success on the present requirement.

Factor 3: Price. Price will be evaluated to ensure price reasonableness for the services being provided to the Government, considering the specific terms and conditions, and relevant commercial practices.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
