STATEMENT OF WORK

Supplemental 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 87,000 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. DoDEA also operates a fully accredited Virtual High School with its main office in Virginia and teaching hubs in Germany and Korea.

2.0

BACKGROUND

2.1 DoDEA supplements its Virtual High School course offerings with online courses purchased from US vendors. This requirement includes the provision of summer online courses for students in need of credit replacement.

3.0

SCOPE

3.1 DoDEA requires seat-based licenses for online high school courses for students in grades 9-12 to (1) supplement courses offered through our Virtual High School during the school year and (2) during the summer.

· All online courses—both core curriculum and Advanced Placement (AP)—will be taught by DoDEA teachers.

· Courses will be equivalent to a one-semester unit or a full year or two-semester unit.

· To accommodate the different school year calendars of DoDEA’s US and overseas schools, both school year and summer courses will have rolling start dates.

· Courses may be hosted either on DoDEA’s virtual learning environment (VLE) or by the vendor.

3.2 DoDEA expects to award multiple contracts for performance period for a base year and four 12-month option years, beginning on or about July 15, 2011. The number of seats to be purchased is difficult to estimate because DoDEA’s enrollment may change and the number of online courses DoDEA’s Virtual High School offers may change. However, DoDEA expects it will require 400-600 concurrent seats each year of the contract.

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 following factors shall be used to evaluate the offers: Technical, Past Performance, and Price. The order of importance of these factors is: Technical, Past Performance and Price.

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

Factor 3: Price: Price will be evaluated to ensure price reasonableness. Price will be considered by the Government when determining the best value offer.

(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. .

Addendum to Provision:

(d) If the subject solicitation has been issued as a Request for Quotation, all references to offer and offeror are hereby changed to quote and vendor respectively, except for in paragraph (c), which stands as written. If a quote is provided, the Government may make an offer based on all or part of a vendor’s quote, as originally presented or as subsequently modified.
