STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work Middle School and High School Health Education Curriculum Resources

0. Introduction, Background, and Scope

0. Agency: 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 about 71,000 students in 163 brick-and-mortar schools. Student enrollment varies based primarily on the deployment of military troops worldwide. DoDEA’s curriculum, resources, and student achievement scores on standardized assessments compare favorably to those of high-performing US public school systems. In North America DoDEA runs 51 schools located in seven states, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. In Europe and the Middle East, DoDEA operates 65 schools located in Germany, England, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey and Bahrain. In the Pacific, DoDEA has 47 schools located in Korea, Japan (mainland and Okinawa), and Guam. DoDEA also operates a fully accredited Virtual High School with teaching hubs in the US, Europe, and the Pacific.

0. Background: DoDEA does not currently have an active contract for middle or high school health education curriculum resources. DoDEA has adopted the national standards for secondary level health education, which may be found at the following URL:

2. https://www.cdc.gov/healthyschools/sher/standards/index.htm

0. Scope: DoDEA expects to make a total of 1-2 awards for middle school and high school health education curriculum resources. The award(s) are expected to be for a 5-year base period plus one option year.

3. Middle and High School Programs

0. For both programs, DoDEA requires instructional resources for students and teachers. Visual design of print and digital instructional resources shall be engaging and easy for students and teachers to navigate.

0. Digital offerings shall not require each student to possess his/her own digital device during school (“one-to-one program”) and shall allow for teachers to deliver instruction offline as well (by downloading lessons, printing student work, etc.).

0. Note: DoDEA has 85 schools with at least one of the seven grades (6-12). DoDEA has a wide variety of school sizes and configurations, including nine schools with only a grade 6 and 2018-19 school enrollments ranging from seven students (in the sixth grade of one school) to 1,012 (Ramstein High School).

3. Middle School Program

1. System-wide the enrollment for grades 6-8 is approximately 5,400, 4,850, and 4,400, respectively. There are 64 brick-and-mortar schools serving middle school students, of which eight schools serve only grade 6 and four schools only serve grades 7-8. The schools range in size from 16-803 students.

1. In the first year DoDEA requires classroom sets of resources for about 87, 82, and 79, grade 6-8 classrooms, respectively. In the other four years of the base period and option year, DoDEA requires replace/replenish student print materials, estimated at eight percent of the first base year’s total per year and a modest number of teacher print materials.

3. High School Program

2. System-wide the enrollment for grades 9-12 is approximately 13,000 students. In any given year, approximately 3,400 students will take the 0.5 credit health education course. There are 41 brick-and-mortar highs schools and one virtual high school. DoDEA high school sizes vary greatly, ranging from 80-1,000 students.

2. In the first year DoDEA requires classroom sets of resources for about 72 high school teachers. In the other four years of the base periodand option year, DoDEA requires replace/replenish student print materials, estimated at about eight percent of the first base year’s total per year and a modest number of teacher print materials.

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) See Addendum

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.
